Post your favorite icon

hey guys, curious about something here..

anyone who's tried to customize their icons knows that, every once in a blue moon, comes an icon for an app that's, quite literally, too beautiful to change.

imo, that title belongs to the itunes icon :D. such a marvelous work of art, as simple as it is gorgeous. in short, it's a masterpiece :). i believe the only way to improve on it is to duplicate it. _really_. to this day, i've found absolutely NO substitutes for it. as jairo said,

El icono original de Itunes nunca sera superado por cualquier otra propuesta
or "The original itunes icon will never be topped by any other proposition". truer words were never spoken ;). admittedly, i've always liked the elegant macromedia studio icons as well, but granted, they come nowhere near itunes.

so! i ask you, whats YOUR favorite official icon?

the transmit icon is pretty awesome, and the new bit torrent icon rocks, too.

#274910

Well, usually with most sets, the minder app is barely changed. Its still the basic square with the smile, so Id have to say that.

#274911

I'm pretty impressed by the new QuickTime 7 icon...

Btw what's the new bit torrent icon look like?

#274922

http://www.bittorrent.com/images/bittorrent_logo.gif the "moon" icon, and i agree.. the small intricacies of apple's icons make them what they are.

the aqua-soft.org icon... wahaha :P

#274940

#274964

I really like the Keynote 2 and the Pages icons,,, very beautiful pieces of art...

Yeah, have to agree with Facist on this one. Pages for me does it.

I'm a huge fan of the Creative Suite 1 icons (I've looked at two's but I'm not impressed). I also loved Office X (not 2004) for an iconset, although I've reverted to the playdough sausages for my Tiger desktop. My absolute favorite would be iChat for Tiger (no more AIM guy!).

I dig the ichat and safari icons.

f00k. I like all the osx icons. :P

#275325

The trillian 3 icon does not hurt the eye either besides iTunes ofcourse.

#275339

Has to be Firefox.

#275344

Fruity Loops Studio 5 is pretty, but too small for me. I made a 128x PNG instead

#275360

iTunes all the way. Firefox and iChat close second. After the green music note. . .what will the next color be? I say orange.

#275361

appreciate tbe "thanks", guys, havnt been around here too long. anyways, ive admired the firefox icon too. the firefox installer, even, is VERY nice if i do say so myself :). the side panel gives it a nice touch.

about osx, i cant imagine EVER having to customize my icons should i ever get a mac. my current favorite is the dashboard icon (http://images.apple.com/home/2005/images/t...oard2005041.jpg)

default iTunes icon is pretty common nowadays, but i love it since it's my most used app and it's da bomb along with Multi-Plugin installed! Yeehaw!!

#317958

Shapeshifter, Delicious Library, iMovie HD, Automator - they are my favs.

#317985

Aside from iTunes, I can never change the Skype icon, it's pretty well done.

#317989

My finder icon! :D

#318008

I like the finder icon, the (Mac OS logotype)

#318984

Just one - the fabulous folder-icon from what I believe was one of David Lanham's iconsets over at Iconfactory, not positive though. Mind you it's transparent - wow! Simplicity achieved.

Shapshifter and iTunes icons are my favorite. Also Azureus.

#321260

Safari blue from Samui or the music one from iToolbar V1.
