What do you mean?
ICO files aren't any special for Delphi then for any other programs.
You need to remember though that ICO files created using ImageEditor which
were supplied with Delphi up to version 7 (or might be 2005) were in 16x16
or 32x32 (2 or 16 colors) only.
Windows today supports more advanced formats and sizes.
So to answer a question of "designer make Delphi's or CBuilder icons" is to
answer a question of "designer make icons for any Windows program". Here you
have broad choice where only question is money you want to spend.
Some of my preference:
ImageEditor (Delphi 7) - "free" but limited
XN Resource Editor - http://www.wilsonc.demon.co.uk/d10resourceeditor.htm -
free and usually provides desired functionality
not free, but powerful:

David's not tooting his own horn, so I will.
glyFX's icon sets are one of my favorites. They're clean and sharp.
And if you need custom work, I believe you can contact them.

Sorry, I mean "designer company" or "marketing company".

I'm pretty sure they were done internally by Borland, although only they
can confirm 100%.

Many thanks for the compliments :)
Although I do believe the OP was talking about the icons for Delphi
itself, and its associated files.

Speaking of which... you wouldn't just *happen* to have an icon or two to
act as a better "default Delphi application" icon would you? The current
one looks like some round putty grey blob. I create a lot of little
internal apps that don't really need their own application icon but it would
be nice to a better looking icon.
Even better, perhaps a set similiar to
http://www.raize.com/DevTools/Tools/Delphi/BDS_Icons.asp which is what I
install as soon as I get Delphi on my system. I like the Raize set but it
would be nice to have a bit more color in a set, something similiar to the
icons you produce. I'd even pay for such a fine crafted set.
Just curious :)
