[WIP] Wiped-Out Icons

[mr_scruff]

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!

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

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

[mr_scruff]

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.

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

[mr_scruff]

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.

ok i'll add it to my list. :)

[Nidonocu]

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

[mr_scruff]

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!
