man, these are some awesome icons. what programs do you guys use to create them?
I named my two hard drives "Lloyd" and "Harry", and I'm looking for some high quality dumb and dumber icons.. couldn't find though.
I'd like to make them if possible.. any tips would be appreciated!

I live my life one cool toy at a time.

Any ideas let me know.
still nice - keep going with them. You might need some labels at some point but look at real wine labels so you can see the subtlety that is used.

Nice folder, but the lighting seems inconsistent. On one hand you have the light hitting the uppermost right portion of the site. This should cast a shadow onto the inside of the folder. Also, you have the light coming from the bottom up which also conflicts with the light at the upper right. Try adjusting that gradient, perhaps?

And it's very good work.
I think it's quite well done.
I hope I don't sound negative.

I'm assuming then, you're a student...right?
You wouldn't want to come on MacNN and boast how you stole software, as it would most likely get you banned.
To answer your initial question, if you're familiar with making graphics then you really just need to know the mechanics of an icon:
Check out: http://www.mikematas.com/ and scroll all the way down.
This is as good a reference as any.
Also check out Apple's developer section.

Can I make a request in here? If so, can someone please make an icon of sheet music?
You can see and example here and the icon would be perfect if it was just the sheet music and not the pointless tacky extras pasted over it.
I would appreciate it greatly if someone could either take out the play button and red oscillations or just make a new piece of sheet music (preferably with notes and angled in the same manner).

Fairly certain that this one may not matter to most, but in case there�s anyone who cares...
Yep... there's plenty more where that came from.

To dislike Sinatra is a sign of highly questionable taste. To dislike the Beatles is a serious character flaw.

I see Solsonic made that awsome sheet music icon for you but perhaps you wanted more notes? http://www.dafont.com/en/theme.php?cat=719

I've done some quick work (an hour or so) on these icons that I'm sure you will recognise, aswell as some of my own, I'd like you're opinions and also if possible permission to ditribute these icons, please have a look:
adapted icons

Interesting idea, but in my opinion it would look pretty cheap and tacky, but then again im not a fan of turquoise. I might let digital james have ago if he wants after I've got clearance from Demograph (although that looks like it could be a while, as I'm not geting any luck on talking to him) I've updated the cd's allready (these are completley my own)
new disks

(just thought I would point out that I mentioned in my first post of these that they where a mod of yours and I will of course fully credit you in the distribution notice)
p.s. what do you reckon to the mod and set?
