New logo discussion?

A tip for Windows users:

To change the program icon as it appears on the taskbar while running, you need to change the icon in the exe file. I found this program that will let you do it easily

angusj.com/resourcehacker/

Make a batch file you can run whenever you update ST. Change path as needed.

d:\bin\reshacker\ResHacker.exe -addoverwrite D:\bin\Sublime2\sublime_text.exe, D:\bin\Sublime2\sublime_text.exe, d:\download\sublime.ico, Icon, 1,

I’ve tested this on Win7 x64. There’s a warning in the log file but it seems to work fine.

Also, you can use this online tool

convertico.com/

to convert png to ico.

Here’s a quick icon I made:

Or you can use this shell script: gist.github.com/1597251

Be sure to chmod +x the script after downloading it so it can be executed directly.[/quote]

Just wrote an Alfred extension for easy replacing ST2 icon based on aparajita’s script:

One more solution for semi-automatically changing the icon(s) in mac. I target the whole folder because i also change the filetype icons.

Applescript:

tell application "Finder" duplicate items in alias "Macintosh HD:Users:YOUR USERNAME:Documents:st2-custom-icons" to alias "Macintosh HD:Applications:Sublime Text 2.app:Contents:Resources" with replacing end tell

I run it with Alfred

I made a couple other small modifications to the icon, mostly adding a brighter line along the top.

Here is a properly sampled 512x512 icns for the Mac:

Sublime Text 2.icns

This is great! I altered it a bit so I could have a directory of alternate icons in case I want to try a new icon. Then to change it I’d only need to enter the name of the icon. For example, if I had two alternate icons in that directory:

alt1.icns
alt2.icns

Then I’d enter “sti alt2” to change the icon to the second icon. I hope that makes sense.

Here’s my attempt:

Download 1024x1024 .icns + 256x256 .ico

Hi,

have any of you (very talented) icon designers looked into the meaning of the word “Sublime”?

From http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/sublime#Adjective:

  1. Noble and majestic.
  2. Impressive and awe-inspiring.

Another meaning relates to the chemical process of “sublimation” which is when a solid turns directly into a gas.

Just a thought :smile:

Wow, I see few nice logo candidates in this thread, natebeaty’s icon is still nice sitting in my dock, although weslly or aaronbenson pieces are very nice too. I’ll try something as well, ST deserves it.

my shot on how to combine appname, version and the general idea of text followed by a cursor.

I like the actual Icon / Logo, i think its reflects the application pretty well… i just adapted it slightly to look better in my taste… feel free to use it.
(The full white version works better for small sizes)

This is nice. For me, though, it’s too dark the bottom, fades into my OSX dock (set to 2d). Also, I think it would be nicer without the “book” depth effect.

Thanks for sharing this.

Well, here’s the one I’m using right now. Didn’t take long to create, and it’s not very adventurous, but it looks okay to me:


You can download the .icns file here if you want to give it a try.

This is a very quick sketch of a puzzle-pieces type logo idea I had. I’m no artist, but perhaps someone else will make something cool out of the concept.

This is the one that I use. I recently experimented with a different one, but came back to this one.

I prefer the dark gray variation of my icon:

Matches ST2 more imo, but their both still just temporary icons. I threw em together pretty fast.

I see no link to zips at that link, just part of this long thread. How about posting the link again?
