Taking some inspiration from a variety of the icons already posted, here is a first attempt at another variation (although I’m no icon maker, so I don’t know what I’m doing). Please feel free to run with it.
Text in the background is part the svg file itself and sublime_plugin.py for the right hand side, using solarized dark theme.
All done with Inkscape.

I like that one too.
Thanks for the effort Nate, but I guess what I was asking earlier was how do I change the icon in ST2 itself? I can change the icons on my desktop all willy-nilly, but when I open a program, it usually opens with it’s original one.
After some Googling I realized this is a problem specifically for .exe and such and you need to download something else to change it. Ah well, I’ll just wait until a new one is standard. Hopefully soon as the current one looks pretty bad.
Just wanted to share the .icns-file I built using the file Squiggle provided. The “S” wasn’t my cup of tea, so I removed it. Been using the one from natebeaty before, but I like this one a lot better.

Can we get a .icns version of that?[/quote]

Are there plans to add file type icons?
Embedding just a few in the main exe might be worth the small effort.
I use the portable version of ST2 and a script that associates all the sublime preferences/settings files with ST2.
And I made this quick icon just to help me distinguish between these files and others.

I’d like to have a couple more as generic as possible just to visually distinguish some of the various code file types I use. But I’m not much of a designer and the icons I’ve tried making don’t stand out like they should when they are small.
Edit: Sorry I hope my message doesn’t detract from the logo discussion, but I think this it’s relevant enough for the designers here to take a look at.
Thanks In advance
Though I DO believe the current icon is sufficient, it IS rather annoying to have a linux terminal open on the task bar along with an instance of Sublime… When I’m in “mouse mode”, I will 9 times out of 10 accidentally click the wrong app a few times. The icons just look too similar.
No biggie, I can change the Icon to something else…
Ok, do whatever you want dreaming about new icon and creating it, but keep in mind that Sublime Text 2 have an OS X version too and OS X applications have a perfect icons. So, the Sublime Text 2 icon must be also perfect. Look at Coda, Espresso and etc. first.
No offense, but it is true. It’ll be painful to have such a great app with ugly or unsuitable icon and I suppose everybody share my feelings about that.
Try best.

This is really nice, thank you!
I can take a shot at making the filetype icons a little more visually appealing if you don’t mind sharing the source file
Here is the PSD I used schmrom.deviantart.com/art/Filet … D-88637169
Thanks to the designer, it was very little work to get the sublime document icon done using that source.
I darkened up the edges a little and just dropped in the current Sublime Text logo.
That was about it on my part. But yeah, have fun with it
Edit: There is also this source available at deviantart jasonh1234.deviantart.com/art/Le … -106107697
Not really designed to work as a tiny icon, it would need some extra work to get it there as well.
[quote=“ricfurness”]I fell in love with Sublime Text 2 recently, but the icon did seem to taint my dock a little.
I decided to create my own - nothing overly fancy, but something to ‘keep me going’ until it has an official refresh.[/quote]
I really liked the direction here, but since there was no icon file, I created one myself.

HI all,
I actually quite like default icon in principle, its simple and easily distinguished.
I use a mac though so simple flat icons tend to stick out like a sore thumb on the dock.
I created the below for my own use but thought I would share it here.

Thought I would toss my hat into the ring. Our team has been using this icon for a while and have enjoyed it. Thanks!
Based on a logo I saw here, I quickly sketched this one out. I think the Sublime Text logo should be sublime, simple, and peaceful. What do you think, does anyone like it?
