use the old ones if you prefer... otherwise you may want check iconfactory, xicons, or resexcellence for replacements. i'm sure you could find pleanty of v.X replacements.

Does anybody have the icons from Office: 2001 for OS 9? Those look great in OS X.

I wasn't all that crazy about the Microsoft supplied icons. Especially how they were all neon, aqua like and the documents were drab and didn't really match the application icons themselves. So when master icon creator Hein Messiven put out his Office icons I fell in love with them. But I couldn't leave well enough alone so I did some color changing and made some custom documents for my applications and find that they are just what I needed. I give all credit for the Office Blobs to Hein and must say that he is missed.

If you'd posted that huge image, you would have been posting an image in wild violation of the inline image posting guidelines.

Regardless, those icons are pretty, but in flagrant violation of the Mac OS X icon genres, which describe that each category of application gets a different "genre" of icon. (Never mind that the Office v.X icons made no attempt to comply. I haven't seen the 2004 icons.)

Not to sound naive but where are these genres?
