....LOL.. tramp stamp.. i hate those things but didn't know someone had invented a phrase for them.

The icon does have some color issues.. and a not really being specifically related to trem issue.

Post by: stalefries on June 13, 2007, 12:18:24 am: I'm converting it to a Mac .icns as we speak. Will post when finished.

Edit: Download (http://ugli.quickshareit.com/share/overflowtremiconformac9822c.zip)

I think you did well on the shape of the icon (really clever Overmind outline, with a touch of "mech" to it), but it's problematic when you design icons at the size that you did. Is it really necessary to design at 709x709? There's way to much detail in that image. I think it would be better if you re-did it, starting at a more "normal" size, 256x256 at most.

Post by: durand on June 13, 2007, 12:11:31 pm: I like it though maybe its a bit too detailed for an icon. Would look good as the trem logo though.
Title: AWSOME new Trem icon
Post by: PFB on June 13, 2007, 01:43:01 pm: looks like some mayan symbol -> sucks for trem
Title: AWSOME new Trem icon
Post by: stalefries on June 13, 2007, 08:10:48 pm: Since Kaleo seems to have slacked off :), I decided to make Windows icons for him. I still don't like the process behind the design (and therefore the end result), but I imagine someone out there is waiting for this.

Download for Windows (Mac is in my previous post) (http://tangelo.quickshareit.com/share/overflowtremiconwindows81562.zip)

DO NOT WANT !

leave my black dretch icon alone.

I like it too... Granger would be cooler however...

Does anyone have like a HUGE sized picture of the current icon... need one for a project im working on this summer.
Title: AWSOME new Trem icon
Post by: Lava Croft on June 13, 2007, 09:31:49 pm: I personally like the shape, but don't think it suits Tremulous very well. It reminds me of certain tribal tattoos, and tribal is not exactly a word I associate with Tremulous.
Title: AWSOME new Trem icon
Post by: Mispeled on June 13, 2007, 09:46:20 pm: The current mac icon is way cooler. Awesome sunglasses, for awesome people only, kthx.
Title: AWSOME new Trem icon
Post by: A_Total_noob on June 13, 2007, 09:55:39 pm: Like stated, its a nice icon, but I personally wouldnt use it.
Just doesnt fit Tremulous that well-
Trem deserves a 'jokey' icon (Eg: The tyrant in sunglasses)

First person to do a granger in sunglasses as a icon gets a cookie !
Title: AWSOME new Trem icon
Post by: TriedtoDestroyMetal on June 14, 2007, 03:24:23 am: This has nothing to do with Trem. Nice design, but doesn't fit the purpose.
Title: AWSOME new Trem icon
Post by: [insert name here] on June 14, 2007, 04:01:26 am: Don't know what everyone else is talking about. It looks good.
The only thing i dislike about it was that it was too complex
I suggest getting rid of the bottom part to make it look something like this

>t<

without the "M" part

Post by: Kaleo on June 15, 2007, 08:08:35 am: Well, mixed feelings. I'm glad that some of you like it tho :D

@stalefries

@stalefries

It's Icon Composer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icon_Composer#Icon_Composer). It comes with Xcode (http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/xcode/). Mac-only, if that's an issue for you.

As for the .zip of .ico files, that was made with the Gimp. Oh yeah, I had to scale your image (it was freakin huge, are you crazy designing that big?) with the Gimp, too.
