[Preview] GITS - Filetype icons

I've finally got off my backside and started making stuff again. Firstly, after watching Ghost in the Shell: Standalone Complex 1 & 2, i got inspiration for some icons based on the photos seen in the first laughing man episode.

So my first release for several months is going to be an icon pack based on the series.

Here is the preview, this is the PNG of the PNG filetype icon, including the cutest tank in the world, Tachikoma.

Note: There will be icon versions of these, however, I need to find some info on combining different icons into one .ico, as obviously these would look really bad at 32x32 let alone 16x16...

EDIT: Added previews of HTML(Firefox) and HTML(Dreamweaver) icons

Ok, so far I have done icons for:

TXT, DOC, HTML, HTML(Dreamweaver), PNG, JPG, BMP, DLL, BMP, PHP, ASP, JSP, CSS, CFML, a Default Icon, PSD & XML.

Others on the list to be made are:

Audio:

MP3, WMA, OGG, WAV, AAC, M4A, MIDI

Video:

DivX, AVI, XviD, MKV, Real Media, MOV, SWF

Graphics:

FLA, AI

Documents:

XLS, MDB, PPT, PDF

Others:

ZIP, ACE, RAR, BIN(CD), ISO, BIN(Mega Drive Rom), SRM, FIG, SMD, GBA, SWC, IPS, SMC, SMS, ADF.

I need suggestions for other filetypes to make after this. (I'll also remember to save base images now as I forgot to save the PSD for making the graphics and text file based icons).

Any chance for an MP3Ext.

Theme,this would be very cool !

#227038

Do you mean have the Kbps written on the icon? If so, sure, but they'll be in a seperate pack to make things easier.

Will preview the iTunes MP3 icon once I go and get a PNG iTunes icon (i know where one is, I just don't have it at the mo), but here are the Media Player and Winamp versions. I'm not doing a foobar one at the mo as I have to get on with making the rest of the icons...

I realise the more I preview, the more you get early, but I don't mind as this is going to be a huge pack, I know that much already.

EDIT: Added cutesy 32x32 design.

Glad to see you back Acaeris Great work!!

Do you mean have the Kbps written on the icon? If so, sure, but they'll be in a seperate pack to make things easier.(...)

Thats it,the it shows up the right Kbps from every MP3 stored on your Disk, it´s very usefull (for me) but the available Themes are not really nice.

So it would be very cool if you release a Theme with your MP3 Icons, the preview look great.

Never heard of GITS, but these are looking good.

I can't wait for the release!

Looks quite pretty. Never seen the actual anime, but the icons look "technical" but incredibly fresh! Thanks for doing a whole series!!!

#227271

I love GITS. I will almost definetly be using these.

#227295

I can't believe there are people who haven't at least heard of "Ghost in the Shell"...

NightCrawler, you should check it out sometime, as well as being a brilliant anime it has had a huge influence on modern Sci-Fi films, including The Matrix.

Ok peeps, I'm stuck as to what to do for the video files, I was thinking the logo but as some people haven't even heard of GITS, that's not going to tell them it's a video file.

Can anyone come up with a suggestion?

EDIT: Added Preview Video and Megadrive Rom icons, both of these could be improve immensely but I can't find decent images of consoles and cartridges and I just can't think of anything for the video icon. (Oops, uploaded wrong video one)

#227343

Maybe something resembling the HUD that they use to look at video files.

I have a very coveted poster from GITS.

#227612

Thanks for the idea Banzai... *Points at the Secret of Mana poster* I've got that one

There are going to be 2 sets... Here's a preview of the second. (I'm currently waiting on MSN working properly again so I can contact Sid (He said he'd help compile the icons)).

#227679

Fantastic Icons. Love to see some system wide icons to go with these

#227684

Update: Still going, just with ISP problems at the moment i haven't had a chance to get a program to make the .ico's with.

#228589

Man, this is one of those "why didn't I think of that?" ideas. Superb! I can't wait for the release.

#228645

Thanks DTOXX

Update: I'm now compiling them, I got Axialis Iconworkshop to do the job. I have a few more size format's to do and the release should follow shortly after that. Although I'm not putting a date on the release as, after playing the American beta, I've applied to be a Game Master on the european version of World of Warcraft.

#231994

Just wanted to know when do you plan to release them?

#234154

These look really nice.

Can't wait to see the release.

#234617

I still don't have a release date, the icons are taking me about a day each to make (I'm so slow), although I have made a lot of progress recently that will make it quicker. If they aren't done by the 20th (Unlikely)n I won't be able to finish them until January as I have to go to Spain again for the Christmas hols.

#234867

Go for it! And take your time too The are just great!

#235039
