anyone want to share their favorites and possibly links for them? I have personally been looking for great alternatives to the default Tiger Mail icon and default iTunes icon that comes with the system. These are the two most exciting icons to change, now lets see what you guys got. Cheers

I really like this Mail icon from Mike Cosentino, 'mdc' here at MacNN boards.

The default Mail.app icon and the default iTunes.app icon are the best!

It's a good question. I've spent ages trying to choose icons I like for iTunes, Mail, and iPhoto. I recently stopped using Mail so don't have that problem any more. For iTunes I currently use an icon of a speaker from David Lanham, for iPhoto I use a pretty plain icon of a camera.

what ever happened to that icon for iTunes that looks like a cd with a martini glass? I thought that was one most well done ones.

For iTunes, I use a photo-real iPod icon. After all, a musical note and an actual CD have very little to do with music these days. I buy it electronically and listen to it via portable device. The iPod icon fits.

I have never really liked those headphones in liro's icon, beautiful nonetheless though, and yeah I am using that black iTunes icon as well for the time being and regular mail app.
