Apple Remote Desktop Icon for OS X Leopard

ARD Icon updated for Leopard

For a few months now, I’ve been wondering when Cupertino is going to put out a new version of Apple Remote Dekstop (ARD).  Partly because I want new features, mostly because I’m tired of looking at the Aqua Blue desktop background on the application’s icon.

I was bored tonight and decided to take care of that last part myself.  I present to you, my second ever OS X icon, ARD Leopard!  I took the binoculars from the current ARD icon and combined them with Leopard’s desktop sidebar icon.  The imperfections of my horrible Photoshop skills are barely noticeable and I think it looks pretty good.  Feel free to download, and if you like and use it, please leave a comment.

Custom CS3 Icon

Thursday, August 30th, 2007

UPDATE: I realized I was saying “folder icon” when my icon was really just an application icon. I’ve made an actual folder icon for CS3, and have included both icons in the zip file.

I decided to create my own folder icon for the entire Adobe Creative Suite 3. By default, the installer dumps everything into the Applications folder. I told mine to put all the CS3 apps in a folder called Adobe CS3 to keep things clean and organized. I thought the default OS X folder icon was a bit dull and didn’t stand out enough to me, so I decided to make my own.

My CS3 Folder Icon

I present to you, my first ever icons! I tried to copy the periodic table of the elements style that each application’s icon has. For some reason, purple was standing out in my head at the time, so I decided on a purple color scheme, with a gradient fill, and I used the Myriad bold font which I think is pretty close to what Adobe used for their icons. Feel free to download the icon and use it for your CS3 folder. All I ask is that if you like it and use it, just leave a comment on this post or use the contact form, so I know that I know someone else likes my work! Enjoy!
