I have a new OSx86 Tools app:

http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=104754

Was wondering if anyone could make a standard OS X sized icon for this app? I'm not very good at editing graphics, so if someone could make something creative it would be great

I'm In!.

I'll help you with it too

OK, how about you both do one and the community chooses which one they like best?

Fine, I'll start tomorrow morning.

Thanks MoC, appreciate it A LOT

No problem with that...What about two if I have time (if I have time!)?

Sure

What format do you want the icon in?

I guess 512x512 .png...Right?

Yup, 512x512 PNG would be good

pcwiz, give us a concept to use to make an icon for your application...id like to help you with the icon.

The concept is probably OSx86 related obviously, for my OSx86 Tools Utility. Maybe an Adobe CS3 style icon? That would be cool. Whatever you guys make is fine with me

Thanks for all the help offers, appreciate it a lot

Two seconds in Fireworks gives you this:

Hey, that's pretty good I'll see what TuX, MoC, and Schweppes can come up with as well

Yeah just give me a little

No problem, there's no rush, take your time I still have quite a bit to add to the utility before final, after all the suggestions I've read.

I made one

How to install (just do it your your computer, and distribute):Right-CLick get info on the icon, select the little, icon at the top and copy it. Do the same for the app, but instead of copying, paste.

I tried making an ICNS file, but Icon Composer Kept Quitting unexpectedly on me whenever I tried to save....

Here is my redistributed copy with my icon of your latest beta.

That's good Jiver. I'll wait till XxP/TuX, MoC, and anyone else that is doing one to show their creations

Almost done. I'll have it up in around an hour.

EDIT: Here it is folks!

PCWiz, ask for an icon done at macthemes. Many great artists, some of which will do it for free

Sure, sounds cool...but what will they think of "OSx86 Tools"?

Thank you Kiko for your very useful contribution If you can do better, why not show it rather than criticize the work of others who are volunteering to help

10 min of work


-D-

Please refrain from replying to my threads in the future Kiko. DiaboliK, thanks that looks great.

now thats an osx icon ^^

DiaboliK FTW!

I'm declaring DiaboliK the current front runner.

Hey you did say let the community decide.

i found a nice recycling bin called utilities folder

yeah, i used to have that one and others in my pixadex library

Nice icon!

I found and made these icons from some CS3 style PSDs I found on the net:

Any feedback? I think it looks nice and simple.

I'd write tools under them and it would fit the app perfectly!

OK

I dont like the CS3 style, too simple, and says nothing.

Id like Diabolik icon, but i think it needs some tweaks.

Yeah I like Diabolik's but maybe less text?

Maybe instead of the TOOLS, just replace it with x86T

Idk, but it looks a little crowded to me.

I agree with djet. Less text, different font

The image is gone now...

orly?

I downloaded it before someone poofed it away

funny?

OK, so I did another icon:

I can change the glow color and intensity and all that. Just want feedback on the concept.

OMG!.I'm late!.Give some time ~pcwiz:you know what I'm doing.Your concept is not bad:actually,I was thinking on that background with some tools as Diabolik...

PC, yours is very nice! I like the style!

Although (it may just be me) the picture and text seems to be off center....

This is mine

Scweppes, that is EXCELLENT. Love the yellow tools box.

djet,

I can fix that I'll open the poll (TuX, when you are done let me know and I'll put yours on the poll too.

OK, poll is open: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=106524

I might work on one.... You should see if Sabr would be keen to make one, he has mad skillz on Photoshop

So far I have:

Thanks Tim, I'll see what I can do

Several hours of work on photoshop and so clearly the winner.

I've got a newer and better concept for an icon. Give me another day or two and I'll see how I can do it.
