Hello!

We just received our copy of Adobe CS Premium for Windows at work, but the PC versions of the apps only come with measly small icons. I happen to have my work Windows box set up (through some vomit-inducingly nasty registry hacks) to show icons up to 128x128.

Sadly, I can't afford the Mac version of the apps just yet (and on top of it, my iMac's hard drive died the other week, and it's out of warranty now ). So I was wondering - could anyone who has the CS suite for OS X email me the icons as 128x128 PNG files with transparency?

This would be majorly appreciated. Thanks a bunch!

Is that your Neo impression? I like it.

Why would it be a joke? I frown upon the tiny icons that Windows comes with, so I set them to be larger and customized them. Adobe CS Win comes with tiny icons. Adobe CS Mac does not. Thus, getting the icons from Adobe CS Mac would allow me to have pretty icons for Adobe CS Win.

Doesn't seem that complex to me.

After a discussion on these icons at WhatDoIKnow, someone already posted all of them. However, that's a JPG, without the alpha channel, and I therefore cannot use them.

In this thread, someone already posted the Photoshop CS icon as a TIFF file, which I converted to PNG and then a hi-res Windows icon.

So now I only need GoLive, Illustrator, InDesign and ImageReady.

Given that Mac users like myself are visual people, and that there is a friendly helpful community here at the MacNN boards, I thought I'd give this request a try.

Frankly, mishap, your reaction perplexes me.

his reaction might be based on the realization that the new CS icons are the crappiest icons evar.

get them here. Didn't install GoLive so I don't have that icon sorry.

Screw the "real" ones, get these much better ones IMHO...

Realization? Opinion, perhaps, but realization, no.

They are symbolic of the suite's closer integration, and each image is semantic. GoLive features the stars - the original "navigators"; ImageReady and Photoshop feature quills and feathers, which were used by early artists; and Illustrator features a flower, which is a dominant image in the Venus painting that inspired the original icon.

However, InDesign doesn't have anything to do with butterflies - they just kept the existing butterfly theme going. Perhaps you could argue it represents the "freedom" the minions of Quark experience when switching.

Furthermore, both the Standard and Premium version feature a leaf with as many parts as there are individual apps in the respective suites.

A great deal of thought went into the icons, and they are artistically creative - in fact, I'll even say that using shapes and filling them with textures of the items they represent was quite clever.

You don't value them? Fine. But do not assume that they are disliked by all.

Thanks! I am in your debt.

Now I only have to find the GoLive one.

I now have all of them. Thanks everyone!

This thread may now the descend into the abyss of oblivion.
