I've been receiving a lot of emails from Mac users, asking me when more World Of Aqua Rev. 2 material will be coming out - so here is the answer, all done up Apple-style...

Patcarla · Apr 17, 2004, 05:58 AM

Can't wait!

Dave

Acrimonium · Apr 17, 2004, 06:11 AM

I second that...

digitaljames · Apr 17, 2004, 06:49 AM

Very nice Dave! What would we all do without the IF?

cmove · Apr 17, 2004, 07:00 AM

I can't wait

Bombia · Apr 17, 2004, 07:58 AM

Wow! Your work is great as always! Thanks a lot!

I agree that I find the recent trend of sneak peaks a little bit disturbing. Not because it's evil, but because there's just too much anticipation now, damnit. I need a break.

idle · Apr 17, 2004, 10:31 AM

ah. nice dave. indeed what would we do without the IF.

so, phill? thats why you don't want us ContestWinners to release previews? because you can't stand the anticipation? haha.

idle · Apr 17, 2004, 10:31 AM

Okay, I guess I'd better not post the preview of the other upcoming icon set I was going to announce today... don't want to freak anyone out.

servo · Apr 17, 2004, 11:37 AM

Previews are great, I love to see what is coming up. It's the damn teasers that are just some image in what the designer states is the "style" of the icons/theme that are annoying.
For example, BBX Omega. We've seen, what, 2 images? We've heard talk of what the theme might be but we have no idea. At least with this preview you see the icon and can decide whether you want to be excited about it or not.

BrianC · Apr 17, 2004, 12:26 PM

Hmmm...."sleek and simple"

Amen.

Can't wait.

brutal · Apr 17, 2004, 12:45 PM

wow!

looks great, Dave!

COBRAHQ · Apr 17, 2004, 01:22 PM

must... have... give to me now!!!

Kujo · Apr 17, 2004, 01:54 PM

kovacs · Apr 17, 2004, 01:57 PM

k.mo · Apr 17, 2004, 05:27 PM

Now we just need Rev.2 Finder/Safari/Apps, and we're set

Great job so far Dave

macgyvr64 · Apr 17, 2004, 05:32 PM

You just don't stop, do you? :-P

cube3 · Apr 17, 2004, 09:02 PM

I am going to name my first child Davebrasgalla and my second Pixelhuset.

Drifter · Apr 18, 2004, 08:57 AM

Looks nice. Too bad I already have Matrix set in stone.
IS there anyway you could�like�release a set of vector images of stuff like the user, developer, document, etc. badges? The badges on the folders?
I always like modding the icons to have them for multiple occasions when the stock won't fit.

And is there anyway you can actually make a detailed account of how you make icons? I want to know how you get the glass, plastic, paper, etc. textures on there.
You should make Matrix apps

Holigen · Apr 19, 2004, 03:12 AM

Nice Dave, as everyone else has said before, cant wait

Komisar · Apr 19, 2004, 07:26 AM

Hey, is this going to be a candy bar cointainer

kovacs · Apr 19, 2004, 07:46 AM

Most icons from the Iconfactory can be downloaded as an iContainer, a set of standard Mac icons and a set of standard windows icons...

Komisar are you trying to get your post count up, by asking lots of questions? Of course it will be in iContainer, they invented the iContainer.

Dave Brasgalla · Apr 19, 2004, 09:43 AM

It's going to be available as an iContainer, naturally, but I am not planning a CandyBar iContainer. The reason is that they are just folders; it's not a system replacement set. Additionally, while the standard system folders are all there, there are extra folders with unique badges that don't fit into any slot in CandyBar.

Also, people were asking about app icons and such, but I don't often do those. Since the World Of Aqua series is based on the Aqua HI guidelines, they are intended to fit in alongside the icons already on your system. Also, I have absolutely no inclination to remake dozens of application icons - and even if I did, the job would never be done. When I actually do remake an app icon, it is usually because it is an app in my Dock that I use a lot and see all day, and I simply prefer a different icon for it (like Mail, Garageband or Sound Studio).

Sorry if that's a disappointing answer...

Komisar · Apr 19, 2004, 11:56 AM

I agree with your decision, there is more and more apps all the time it aint a big deal, but will these icons go along side the existing woa replacement, but wit different foldesr

joltguy · Apr 19, 2004, 03:02 PM

Pathetic as I am, I had trouble falling asleep the night before your Matrix Rebooted set was released, now I've got a sleepless May 3 to look forward to followed by a May 4 morning of obsessive iconfactory.com refreshing.

Cool, but I don't understand ow everyone can say how great this is. I can't tell much from your preview other than the general color and style. To quote Simon Cowell, "So what?" It does look professional, in any case

You obviously don't know Dave's work that well, do you? The icons he makes are always 2^32 times better than the preview...duhh

Komisar · Apr 19, 2004, 09:55 PM

ASDFX2 STOP BITCHING THEY ARE GOING TO BE GOOD ALWAYS THINK THE BEST OF WORK, OR ELSE IT IS THE WORST BBESIDES ONCE U UNLEASH SOMETIHING LIKE REBOOT U CANT GET ANY WORSE JUST BETTER

:
they look good dave !

joltguy · Apr 20, 2004, 08:28 AM

Dave, just wondering if the new set consists entirely of folders or if there are some extra WOA goodies to be thrown in... specifically I'm thinking a 3G iPod icon done up in the same style as the Rev2 Drives? There is a beautiful iPod icon in WOA3, but it's the first gen iPod.

Thanks for the sentiment, but the reality is that I make plenty of crappy icons. Pretty much half of what I do, I put aside and forget because they kind of suck...

I hadn't planned on putting in extras, but I actually already have a revised 3G iPod icon. I was saving it for WOA 5, but maybe you're right. It would fit in nicely with this set...
