I wanted to do something very different to the usual 3D and detailed icons you see. I wanted to do something very 2D in fact and very 'iconic' and simple that stood out with a minimum of colours. The reason for the name of this set is that years ago i was a huge fan of the 'Wipeout' series of games and i loved how effective the 2d graphics of the signs and pilot insignia were. So this is my spin on some 2D icons.... Full applications set coming this Spring, and possibly a full system set depending on feedback.

Any comments, suggestions welcome! Keep an eye on my deviantart page for more!

Wiped-Out Icons Preview

Googleplex (aka mrscruff)

Original, It looks like it was made out of paper, but not something I would use

Not bad and keep it up

wow i like these very nice and crisp looking

yeah i agree. very orignal. not bad.

I absolutely love these! They're like off an Urban Outfitters t-shirt! Can't wait for the release!

great concept.. currently using Litho System, wouldn't mind switching to this when it get released

Nice! Very original!

This will be a system set now. Hopefully for an end of April release. Thanks for your comments!

This totally rox!! keep it up!

Hey mr_scruff/Googleplex. Just wondering if you happened to get the PM from be about the Harddrive mock concept that I did. If not, I'll post it here:

I'm happy to read that there will be a full system set. I like these icons very much. Colorful and unique.

Thanks for all the posts guys, I'm still hoping for an end of April release with the set although in truth i'm struggling to make the hardware and system icons as unique as the rest of them. Some of the icons i am very happy with... just done an Adobe cs2 set and quite frankly it rocks in my humble opinion!!!!

Overall i'm about 80% done. All icons are 192x192 PNGs for crisp detail and i'll convert them all to ICO format as well. I'm dabbling with the idea of a matching avetunes widget but may release separately.

Xypher... I've not had a PM from you. Have just PM'd you with my email.

Googleplex (formerly mr_scruff until he can change his id on neowin!)

Unique idea! I like. Let us know when the full set is out *tracks thread*. ^_^

Set is progressing slowly cos of real life stuff, but is coming along nicely. I've teamed up with SKM Industries and together we're doing truely kick-ass wallpapers to match this set. Check out his deviantart page for an idea of whats coming.

SKM Industries

good choice.. his wallpapers are mostly wipeout-like..

if possible, could you do a foobar2000 icon too?

ok i'll add it to my list.

What programs are you doing/done? o.o It would be good to know so then anyone can post requests for icons. ^_^;

Well i've got a lot of generic icons to avoid doing 5 different firewalls for example. Think i've got most of the popular ones but I have to draw the line somewhere or there will be tons of request to add to my 'to do list'.
From the top of my head i've done; office programs, adobe cs suites, wmp, itunes, msn messenger and users, folders, discs, all system icons, firefox, nero, quicktime, avedesk, samurize, generic icons (desktop search, firewall, p2p, bittorent, disk cleaner, defragmenter, antivirus, spyware, wireless) thunderbird, adobe reader/acrobat. etc etc etc. Numbering nearly 90 individually designed icons at the moment and now need at least another 20-30. I'll listen to requests but no promises!

Any news on these bitchin' icons? =)

Hmm.. can I put in a request an icon for Trillian Pro and also LiveJournal then? ^_^ As well as some of the Windows Accessories as they are often overlooked o.O
Quicklist of some of the often missed ones: Notepad, Character Map, Calculator, Command Prompt, Task Manager.

i want a shell pack of this, they rocks!

I want them, yes sir.

Oo suggestion - some performance meter icon, for like samurize, rainmeter, sysmetrix etc.

There are 5 samurize ones! i got carried away! I've decided they're coming out this weekend after enough delays and still have a ton to do so some requests I won't get a chance to do, and I'm not up to doing a shell pack just yet sorry Hankyone! (hello by the way! still using smartbar xp?) There will be some nameless generic icons which you can always use for whatever you want.

k i could always make one just for me
and sbxp is pretty dead now

awesome, cant wait do you mind if when you're not so busy doing a couple of osx ones? (ie: finder, safari?)

if i have time; no promises!

awesome! thanks:P

I can't wait for this release

Thanks! I really wanted it to be finished today but i don't think it will be. Any day now i promise, real life keeps getting in the way!

^...that's why you shouldn't get one to begin with......

They're out.... http://googleplex.deviantart.com/
Sorry i didn't have time to as many requests as i would have liked... hope you enjoy them anyway.

awesome thanks!!!

You sir, rock. Mightly Though, what program do you recommend for making icons not on my dock use the PNG's? o.o;

Thanks nidoncou! ta 4 the fave too! Well if i understand u right i use Avedesk to get PNG icons on the desktop. ( http://mpj.tomaatnet.nl/AveDesk12_setup.exe ) Great program, read more about it at Aqua-soft.org . Just noticed ur in Sheffield! I finished uni there last year!

Sir, these icons are magnificent!!

Thanks. ^_^ Question though.. which uni?

Those are some awesome icons

Cool
