Hey All

I put together an icon pack using the Helevtica Font. You can see how it looks below.

To download go to: Helveticons.

real nice stuff and thanks for the icontainer set

All I miss is an Aperture and Capture NX2 icon ;)

Microsoft office 2008 suite would have been nice also

Hey, maybe you should give credit to the original autor, this is based on the blob template by Martin and shaheertarar from Macthemes.

[Pink Floyd Veteran]

ok so I guess he is the wrong person to do requests eh

BTW, did you get permission to pack the icons together?

I duno what the Blob Template you are on about?? I saw a set of icons called the kobhens which used a different Helevtica Font and was like this.

I basically like the kobhens but wanted the Regular Helvetica Font not the Neue, so I just did all the icons I needed from scratch and thought some people might want them....

So I think I gave all the credit needed in the dA description.

Permission? Why would I need permission from some one? I just took their idea and modified it to my needs, but I didnt use a template or anything I made my icons from scratch in Photoshop.

Like I have said, if you go to the link and download them the you will see I mention The Kobhens icon set which I originally saw.

As for the requests, I included a template.psd file so people can make their own if needed and a little guide in the Read Me file to do so :)

you still used Martin,shaheertarar ideas so should give some type of credit to theme

Any links? because how can I mention someone when I have never seen their work? As seriously I am only aware of what I saw which was the Kobhens Icon set which I DID mention in my Deviant Art description.

thanks for the clarification Scazza and also thanks for the template :)

Maybe its a misuderstanding or a coincidence, but you must agree that the resemblance in composition and fonts its odd.

No problem.

First time I have seen that, but his has blobs around like the name of the font states.

The font set i saw was The Kobhens - http://www.robertourso.com/?p=60

Done in Helvetica Nueue and only came with very few.

Mine are pretty much the same, just Helvetica Regular and comes with 60+ icons.

Fair enough, not really trying to accuse you of anything, I just found the coincidence odd :)

Update:

Icons added.

Aperture, Flickr Uploaer (coloured), MS Office 08.

[Pink Floyd Veteran]

hehe I should have checked before your post. I just did a Aperture, Nikon Capture NX2 and Adium icon

For some reasons, the iCal one doesn't want to change and stays with the default icon. Is there anything special I have to do with that one? I tried loading the custom icons man times, restarting dock and restarting leopard a couple of times without success :/

Any ideas?

Pink Floyd, I found this on a Mac Forum:

I replaced the App-empty.icns file inside the resource folder of the iCal package with a custom icon (iCal/Contents/Resources/App-empty.icns), which was fine as long as the program was running. When iCal was quit, it reverted to the standard icon with current date.

There is another App-empty.icns file inside the iCalDockExtra.bundle package in another resource folder (iCal/Contents/Resources/iCalDockExtra.bundle/Contents/Resources/App-empty.icns). After I replaced that file as well, iCal remains customized at all times.

Thanks for this :p inspired me to make my own, using your font idea and the bubble one mentioned above:

[Pink Floyd Veteran]

MI6Labs, you should use a color for each application category.

Exemple: Blue for internet app

Red for media (music, video, picture)

maybe 1 color for photoshop suite, etc

my 2 cents

nb.: thanks Scazza for the trick, I'll try it

Nice idea, might I do a suggestion?

I made these. I think that white works well with almost every app, I just do variations to the ones I use the most.
