Does anyone know of any reasonable quality freeware application icons? By application icon I mean the icon _for_ the application (by default the Delphi icon), NOT icons to go _in_ the application toolbars. So suggesting products like the Glyphx stock icons etc does not address this need! Also, there is currently no budget in this project for custom work to custom-design the application icon (hopefully there will be soon), so that also rules out that option. So I am looking for something I can download and use, that looks good, does not cost money or is cheap, and presents no legal issues (ie is freely available for use).

Check out http://www.kde-look.org/index.php?xsortmode=high&page=0 There are lots of really good icons here, although check out the license before using. Craig.

You might be able to find something here that would reduce to Icon size: http://office.microsoft.com/clipart/default.aspx?lc=en-us Here's the legal stuff. IANAL, but I read it to say that you can use the stuff however you want if you own a copy of MS office: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/tou.aspx Back to top Lauchlan M Guest Posted: Tue Jul 26, 2005 2:45 pm    Post subject: Re: Application icons?

I am particularly looking for something that is designed to be used as an application icon in the above sense, but these suggestions are good places to start.

You might be interested in a program called AnyToIcon. Sorry, no link handy. It will convert many file formats (bmp, png, etc) to .ICO of different sizes. I've tried a lot of these types of programs and it does a good job. Easy to use as well. It is not freeware, but it allows you to run the program 30 times and create as many icons as you want each time it is run. -- Kevin Powick Back to top Ed Dressel Guest Posted: Tue Jul 26, 2005 9:02 pm    Post subject: Re: Application icons?

FWIW, I've just used toolbar designs and an icon editor to construct nice looking icons for apps. /Matthew Jones/ Back to top Lauchlan M Guest Posted: Wed Jul 27, 2005 12:29 am    Post subject: Re: Application icons?

I have purchased Axialis IconWorkshop which also does this. Lauchlan M Back to top David Ridgway Guest Posted: Wed Jul 27, 2005 2:13 am    Post subject: Re: Application icons?

It may have already occurred to you, but you can easily make an app icon from our toolbar icons that you already have, using the small and large editions. You can make an application friendly ICO using any icon editor. Of course this will only work for you if you are not looking for something 'abstract' :) Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. -- David Ridgway :: www.glyfx.com Icons, animations & graphics for software developers Back to top Lauchlan M Guest Posted: Wed Jul 27, 2005 6:04 am    Post subject: Re: Application icons?
