Would somebody here be willing to do a theme based on the G.A.N.T icons by Mattahan ? I saw one for WindowsXP once but I would love to see one for OSX Would it be difficult ?

Don't worry, I like 'em

Yeah they're different but I think they're very artistic and they're pretty good drawings. He obviously has talent. Oh well I guess we're alone...

'put up or shut up' is more
the response some would
say to my dislike of the style.
but they are not without
artistic merit etc..



Does anyone here remember
Mozco - IGARASHI SUSUMU

G.a.n.t icons reminds me of
a very poor copy.

they are good drawing but make bad icons and the thick black borders are done in totally the wrong style but they still depress the hell out of me and make me think of linux.
Mozco are much better icons

You can say that you dont like the icons or that they are ugly, is your opinion but you cant say they are not artistic. Those icons along with Umicons are the most original work that I ever see in a long time. That kid (mattahan) is only 14 years old and he have a great talent, I think he deserve more respect guys.

I agree. They are very original indeed, and while they may not fit in well with OS X' aesthetics, they certainly lift Windows desktops to a whole new level. Many of the best Windows setups I've seen in the past year or so have been using mattahan's icons. They really are wonderful with the right theme accompanying them.

True. Obviously whoever created them has a high level of talent. My point was these particular pics don't work well as icons at all. Perhaps if this same style was applied to desktop pics, that might be cool. But it's wrong for icons.
