icons – John Marstall https://theiconmaster.com Sun, 27 Apr 2008 19:27:57 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8.2 Clubbed! https://theiconmaster.com/2007/08/clubbed/ Fri, 17 Aug 2007 21:59:50 +0000 http://theiconmaster.com/wordpress/?p=11 icons area. ]]> This comes about because someone suggested I do a Greenpeace themed icon set. I visited Greenpeace’s site and was immediately confronted with a painfully cute “save the baby seals” banner graphic. Now, I have nothing against baby seals, even bought a stuffed one some time ago. They are, indeed, extremely cute by nature. (One wonders if a “save the naked mole rats” campaign could ever get the same traction.) However, it became clear to me that the cynical, slightly demented parts of my personality where not getting properly conveyed through my icon work.

Clubbed! is now available for download in the icons area.

]]> It’s like the pure essence of your filesystem. Plus it’s all translucent and stuff. https://theiconmaster.com/2007/05/its-like-the-pure-essence-of-your-filesystem-plus-its-all-translucent-and-stuff/ Tue, 08 May 2007 01:42:13 +0000 http://theiconmaster.com/wordpress/?p=9 High-Level Abstraction is 7 years after it was first released. Still, there's a certain beauty in some of these geometric arrangements, and you never know just what folks will find to do with your images. With 60 icons in two sizes (32x32 and 128x128), this is no bite-sized set. ]]> Designed as a system replacement set for the Mac OS prior to version 10.x, I’m not sure just how useful High-Level Abstraction is 7 years after it was first released. Still, there’s a certain beauty in some of these geometric arrangements, and you never know just what folks will find to do with your images. With 60 icons in two sizes (32×32 and 128×128), this is no bite-sized set.

Those who remember the original will notice a couple omissions. First, I’ve stripped anything that included the Apple logo, as 1) it’s better to be safe than sorry, and 2) there’s no longer an Apple folder in the Mac OS anyway. Second, you’ll notice there’s no lime green version — yet. I wanted to get this first version of HLA up quickly and leave the lime green icons for another release.

As usual, you’ll find High-Level Abstraction in the icons area.

Well, we thumb our noses at the weather here. Snow in late April! Besides, these snowmen aren’t in much danger of melting. Pick them up in the icons area, assuming you’ve got your virtual mittens on.

And the California Hatchery Patrol (CHyPs) are the boys in blue (or the boys under the blue, I suppose) trying to send them to clink. Which resembles a can of sardines. Make sense? Well, even if you think I should be committed along with the codfather, you can at least enjoy these colorful denizens of the deep in both small and large sizes. Cast your line over in the icons area. ]]> See, it’s like there’s this fish mafia dealing in contraband caviar, right?

Catch 'em in the icons area. ]]> It’s a bit presumptuous of me to fool around with Piet’s work in this way, given that I can’t even pronounce “De Stijl,” but these little walking canvases are still some of my favorite early icon creations. Now in both 32×32 and 128×128 for your non-representational pleasure. Catch ’em in the icons area.
