[demograph68]

I would really like to see this set finshed. How much of it is left to do? I really like this as an alternative to Windows XP style icons or Smoothicons

You're such a tease Zyote.

I enjoy the texture and styling of that folder. It works nice for a generic, what (if you are) planning for a doc, download, app, ect folders? Badges to the right foreground?

well, i believe a full system set is about 80 icons? or so? I've done about 12.... so that means, 80-12 = a heck of a lot to go!

And i'm not really too fussed on the style anymore. but who knows.

I will eventually stop doing all my silly movie sets and do a system set. but it'll be a while..

Right after you finish a transformers set, right?

80 ?
I mostly browse in list or column view, so iconised folders mean little to me.
That's why I can do with just 3 folders : generic, sidebar (desktop, home, apps) and system (all others) - and 3 drives : internal, external, network.
Of course, I'm no icon artist at all - and perhaps minimalism is just an excuse for being plain lazy

Not badges but rather bevels. (Am I saying it right?)
I have alot of ideas but they're all literally on paper right now. I'll try to come up with some variations later.

Hey mate, yeah... i've been slack lately.. and also quite busy, after moving houses and stuff. but now that i got a few icons under my belt, i thought i should surface up again to show them off.

Um, nope.. but i can make it downloadable if you want?

I'll try to do this tonight.. gimme a few hours.

[Zyote]

Originally posted by Lancer409:

I made a quick zip file of these icons...

i'm not sure about the smaller sizes, or any kind of windows compatibility or whatever.. but they should work fine i guess.

:-)

Download these icons here!

[mac15]

I didn't make it but I saw it a long time ago and saved it right away



Something I did ages ago too, It has no use bit heh whatever

[Mac_Guy15]

I made this icon and I kinda like it, I am a newbie at icons so this is my first. Should I continue with these?



I thought this would go good with choosen and other grey themes.

[Komisar]

that is cool would love to see a set for them!

No don't do that! Stick with the movies, man!

I will now start thinking about what movie to base my next set on. If you have any ideas or comments please email me!

[edit] ok I just had a blinding epiphany.. THE USUAL SUSPECTS!

Have you seen it? It would be PERFECT!! there are so many material objects that contribute to the story that would make for great icon oppurtunities.. well just IMO anyway

oh yeh! there is a bunch of stuff from 'the pin-board' alone. Might be difficult, the <i>details</i> (some very small) are very important to those items.

Hehehe.. it's a good movie.. but i dunno. i can't think of any objects from memory.
I need something bigger or maybe more mainstream. See, the obvious choices would be movies like starwars (has HEEEEEAAAAPSS of objects and stuff that'd make great icons..) but the problem with starwars is, it's soooooooo overdone. though, i'm sure i could do a good job of it. other movies i could do would be lord of the rings. that too has a lot of objects and stuff i could use. But it's too recent after dave brasgala's set. and mine would pale in comparison to his!!

I would love to do a full system set based on a movie. but obviously picking the right movie would be necessary. as i'd need a LOT of reference material and such to do the 80+ icons a system set needs.

I've a few movie ideas up my sleeve. but still not 100% on which could work as a system set.

Mischa

[Banghazi]

To be honest, I've never been impressed by any movie inspired system set. I don't think it's possible to make one that's actually usable. There's a certain amount of neutrality you need to have so you don't need to change your icons everytime you change your theme or desktop or whatever.

Zyote's movie icons, however, dismiss neutrality altogether, making it unfeasible to make an entire system set. (which is what makes them so cool in the first place.)

But if you think it can be done, don't let me stop you. I would love to see it pulled off, or even attempted.

Hey, i never really thought about that. I agree that some icon sets only work in certain themes / desktops. and it's a hassle having to change your icons i think. i guess my fight club icons and these new 2001 icons are really just 128x128 pixel illustrations. they're not really for systems and such. my icons will never be used as folders or important things.

although, i've had a number of comments from people that say they use my icons for hard drive icons and such on their desktops. so i guess they're somewhat usable.

[Komisar]

These are great for app icons... maybe for your next set pick a movie and make a replacement for every app that comes standard with your mac and then some and use the movie for ideas and analogies!

[Banghazi]

just outa curiousity, what'd you have in mind komisar?

an Indiana Jones Safari icon and a Sherlock Holmes Sherlock icon?
