Just been browsing the AppleStore UK and found this image...


I think there pretty swish, and was hoping they might be in Panther!

Opinions anyone??

Interesting. Can you link to the page it was on? so we know the context.

I think I'd like it in Finder if they removed
the "Apple" text. It makes the icons a
bit too busy.

The logo is fine tho.

Bring 'em on!

I'd be happy if I was him

hehe this is quite funny

moreover, if this was one of the new panther icons or something, I don't think they would publish it on the UK promo page randomly.

That's interesting.. I wonder if Apple got permission first!!

I didn't expect that it would be a Panther icon, just thought it would be cool.

Hmm that is interesting. The folder is clearly Hein's work. I downloaded the icon set and enclosed licence states, "The icons are original artwork of the author and are intended for use on personal desktops. These icons are to be distributed as freeware.", that's all he mentions regarding use. It doesn't rule out using them on a website so I guess Apple is in the clear.

Just don't crash, corrupt my data, or make my life Hell and OS X can have Michael Jackson's face as my folder icon and I wouldn't give a damn. Although, they're doing a good job of designing the GUI and it will only get better.

Have fun... Tony.
