    How exactly do you justify this as spam?



    This is a Mac website, correct?



    And I'm showing my newest Mac creation.



    All I'm asking for is feedback.

    If he was being snide about my comment, I was just noting that the icons look fuzzy 'round the edges.

    I was speaking in reference to Gene Clean's comment, whether it was to you or me.

    They look great but I'd make the shadows more transparent and perhaps put a white border around them, and maybe even add a gloss effect. I'll try those when I get home.

    No offense or anything -- but who would WANT those?

    They're an improvement over Adobe's original icons, which pretty much means they're still rather terrible.

    I'm sorry, but I really don't find them an improvement. They look chubby and cluttered.

    At least they have unique shapes, unlike Adobe's "let's put a square around every one of them! a white square! that's creative, folks!" junk.

    i still think the photoshop 7 icon was the pinnacle of their photoshop identity -- if you're making replacement icons, they should give a user a sense off what the app is even if the name is hidden, renamed, partially obscured, etc. that doesn't mean it can't also be a bit of showy marketing, too.



    at least their (i.e. adobe's) icons are better than any "single stylized letter" or "company logo" icon.

    Yep, pretty much agreed.

    If it was just the lens with a shadow underneath it, it would be a powerful icon like the ones in Apple's production suite.

    Indeed.



    Well, except for that other app that already does something like it.
