Better Pidgin

Would a skilled artist make a Purple Pigeon Icon kinda like the Adium Duck.

The default icon for Pidgin...formerly Gaim is awful.

Thanks,

Would you guys be happy with a re-colored duck?

#457188

I guess that would work..

#457205

that would be great!

Try extracting some of the images from a few adium icons. They can be found at adiumxtras.

:mad: You guys gotta give me some time. Photoshop is flipping out AGAIN!

Side-note: CS3 is a nightmare, don't upgrade people.

EDIT: If someone else wants to fill this request, be my guest. I don't want anyone waiting on silly ole me.

Done.

These old original Adium ones might look better.

They do look more like pigeons :-)

While we prefer you edit your post, I can understand the need for revisions, especially with the attached images.

Multiple posts approved.

@ hammergom

very nice, and where can IGET the original Adium icons?

#457605

nice pidgins hammergom :)

maybe you could take the purple adium duck that quirt33 made and give it a pigeon's beak? just an idea

#457610

Easy one Quirt...on Adium's site in extras, dock icons.

Just go about 10 to 15 pages deep.

Thanks Gnomexp,

I get a little carried away sometimes, but I hope everyone likes the icons.

The last set that I did is my preference...it's close to Adium but different enough for Pidgin :-)

Hey everyone!

I saw this thread a couple days ago and I don't know why but I felt inclined to offer my services. I decided to model my variation of the pidgin icon after the pokemon "pidgeot" to make it look "cooler." After creating pidgeot I made an alternate version with the color scheme that the original mascot follows. Here's a preview (ignore the anti-rip lines):

pidgeot.jpg

If I get enough requests, I'll gladly further the development and make this a release on my site. As you can see in its current state it's entirely vector, but I could spend the time to give it some depth like I did with my pikachu icons.

Finish it Link!

#457637

@Link: it would ultimately remind me of Pidgeot instead of/before Pidgin, but I think it would look great as a wallpaper/icon in either the regular Pidgeot colors or in Pidgin colors :)
