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!

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.

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!

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order

      By Paul1979UK · Posted

      It depends, but it's also going to push more adoption of open source AI models that can run locally, I'm seeing a pattern among the US and China when it comes to closed and open source AI models, they close when they feel they have the advantage, open up when they feel they don't. This has little to do with security and everything to do with control, the irony is that the ones that do go open and get the community behind them are the ones that have the real control, hence why we keep seeing this seesaw from closed to open. Ultimately, it's far too dangerous to let any one country or corporation to control AI, which is why open source AI or AI you can run locally on your hardware is very likely going to be the future of AI over the long run, this is especially the case as AI becomes more powerful and useful for user, privacy, security and censorship will become more of an issue for users and businesses.
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      A person should only be required to click through to an article if they want to know more details. The headline should give basic facts. A basic fact would include the name of the service being shut down.

      That would probably be a good outcome, but it would also require other "features" be changed to comply, such as Auto play, scrolling, and advertising. Having the laws shift these platforms back to a socially responsible and useful places is a benefit for everyone. The addictive nature is the problem, and while many blame the individual, psychologists would suggest the platform is using a well trodden playbook to hook in more revenue..

      It was a rather nice rant as I rather dislike when people support the shitifcation of the Internet. My comment also factually applied the definition of "clickbait' to this headline unlike your comment. I have been reading this site for some 20 years now so I will call them out when they are doing carp they shouldn't be doing but thanks for your concern. You can't even do a search by headline anymore to do a quick search to find something because most of the titles lack all the relevant keywords that should be there.
