Next Icon Set. Any Piexelpalooza entries?

Do it...sounds like a good idea...go mindfad go!

So "geek". So hot

.

damn it man, each time i see Next icon set thread, i think to my self, sweet mindfad finally made some NeXT icons.

could you make some for me, talk about a blast from the past

How 'bout making a set of old school arcade game icons for use with MacMame?

No copyright material is allowed anymore.

.

i myself would like to see a full icon set of harddrives, folders, etc from you MindFad. that would be awesome since your icons rock!

I dunno, I always like icond that I can use on something on my computer, I don't know how I can use an RF adapter though.

You could add some gaming stuffs such as joystick, general game controller (use copyright-less one or create your own layout), top view of the plug hole such as s-video, RGB output, etc etc.

I'll be entering Pixelapalooza>Candybar but nothing too big or fancy. It'd be just an updated version of Industech with several new icons and some icons removed (ie: finder, any other copyright stuffs). There's always next year for new icon set. Time's getting faster and free time is getting shorter

I still need a GOOD Home directory set. You can do this, I know you can.

Well, I guess I'll go with this idea. I need at least 10 to enter. I kinda don't have a ton of time to put into them, but I'll try for the minimum. Next year I'll get serious and come up with a better idea.

I'm sure someone can find a use for this odd set. It's more of the idea I'm going for that the judges might like. Meh. Back to work.

MARATHON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mike

Raul Bonilla did some Marathon icons.

Linkage.

I think he did work on the game, too. Not sure.

just one NeXT icon thats all i am asking

i will personally give you a limited slightly used Aria "Real Doll"!

Man, what a pain in the ass finding a decent NeXT logo to work from. Here you go, all pretty and stuff. Click image.



Now, where's the Aria doll?

Here's the AV cables. Damn, this took almost two hours to make.



I think the set might come out well.

G4, you get that icon yet?

just did thanks so much, i have tried to collect a bunch of NeXT stuff, i am actually wearing a Next t-shirt i got off ebay, i so want a poster but they go for somthing like 40-50 buck to rich for my blood.



thanks a ton

No problem. Nice shirt.

High quality,

Damn thats good

You just kick ass, you know that?

Mike

Looks nice, but needs the A/B slider switch. I can' t wait to see the rest of this set

You gotta make an old school Atari joystick, with the rubber cover coming off (or make it similiar, if there's copyright issues)

Ah, screw copyright issues . Make one with and without the rubber/paint peeling . Maybe even an Atari cart. Check atari-age.com for fonts.

Of course, if you're going to do Atari, you might as well do ColecoVision, Intellivision, Coleco Telstar, Pong, Odyssey 2, etc.

Mike

What are the colors again for the prgressive scan cables you can use with the GC, Xbox, etc.? Like a light aquaish and green, right? I'm going to try and do them next, as well as the S-Video connector -- I need to find a real good cloesup shot of that to see the pins inside. And the old coaxial cord-end, too.

Definitely considering doing this gamer set in volumes. This one won't have any copyright stuff in it, but I do plan on doing another volume later on, which will include a lot of the suggestions here. I'm an old-time gamer like most of ya. Well, late Atari 2600 days. Born in '81 -- caught it just in time.

and thats ALL photoshop? like. no other programs whatsoever? you started with a blank sheet and 2 hours later you had that?

youre ****ed. i mean that in a nice way.

Re: atari controllers without the rubber thing - that rubber thign sucked.

No offence, but I find the idea very lame..

Do something more original..
I mean PixelPalooza is the time to do something really big.

I hope this helps..

Yeah, scaught, all Photoshop -- from blank to that (well, I unplugged my GC and looked at the cord, of course). About an hour and forty minutes. Complete in a two-hour period where I was on the phone a few times, so I figure not quite two hours. It was done large scale first.

Generic controllers sound good, though.

I haven't seen a set like this, so I thought it might be original. And it was just a thought to enter Pixelpalooza. I don't have time really to set out and plan a super awesome orginal idea for a set, since they need to be received for Pixelpalooza by the end of this month. Next year I'll try for something cooler; I'll make the time for it. But too busy right now. What would you consider more original, Ambush? (I'm not trying to shoot big.) That was just as helpful as some of the other Canadian's posts (kidding).

nah, it's all about making art that's really coming straight from your heart and soul

we all know you're a game freak, who cares about those other guys who are skilled but make stupid icon sets of stupid super fashion osx folders

rock on

Haha!

I liked last year's Japan set thingy.. like with Asian icons there.. very nice...

It's more about illustration skills I think, after all.. I mean.. you can probably win the first prize with your video games accesories idea...

Go ahead man, I'm sure you can win something if you want

Thanks. I shall commence with the rocking on. I'll do some fancy folders one day.

Ambush, I don't think these icons show a lack of illustration skills, if that's what you were implying, or if I took it wrong. I could turn many of my drawings and characters into icons, but ... meh. I think more people will enjoy a set like this more, and I'm not trying to win Pixelpalooza with this, that's for sure. A "cool icons, thanks!" is just fine. Though an iPod would be cool.

I must shed the game freak image, too. My GF was right. An entire portfolio of game icons says a lot, huh? I am what I am.

Edit: Oooh, I found some sweet coaxial and s-video cable photos to work from. Kick ass. I wasn't sure how s-video pins looked.

Hey Mindfad,
The other day I was strollin� through the ol� workplace and I happened to be in someone�s office- they had a desktop full of your icons. (Nintendo set) Just for the sheer heck of it I asked where the person got them- they showed me the xicons site. (I guessed that was where they got them, but just wanted to see what the person said).

It must be cool to create something and have all sorts of random people around the globe using your creations on their desktops!

Keep up the great work!

That's awesome! Yeah, I get a good bit of fan mail about them. I'm really glad it struck a chord with so many folks -- I see quite a few screenshots with my icons in them. Very cool! The Nintendo dorks have united.

Coaxial cable. S-video next.

now that is a chode

nice work

cool. mr. fad rocks my a/v world.

i LIKE the AV set.

i dont know what id use it for, but i like it just the same.

Wow! That's really excellent! You and Adam are terrific at icon building (and illustration).

Meanwhile I hack away with IconBuilder Pro. Check out what I made yesterday (for my own amusement. Ahem... ).



I even made a road desktop for them. They let me do lots of stuff at the asylum.

!! Awesome. Where can I get those, or aren't they released yet? Oh man, memories.

In the asylum, eh? Aren't you a few doors down from Star Wars Dude? Or ... wait, does he have more than one room, considering ... ya know? Anyway, keep up the good work.

S-video.

very nice...especially the shadow on the top area....you make cables look exciting!

I am thinking I need to hire you to do some track graphics.

Drop me a line -- we'll chat. [/cool-like mobster] What kind of track graphics?

Awsome stuff!

Ideas for other things:

Beanbag chair? Comfy chair? something gamers sit in.

Soda cans?

Generic TV? (Old POS and uber-Huge New one)


Hmm, wow this is kinda hard

-Owl

I cant believe I am looking at CABLES thinking to myself "wow those are really cool."

mindfad, dude you rock.

not to be picky but i belive you are missing some pins in there.

BTW great stuff man keep it up

What pins? Those are the pins that I saw in the picture. 6 of 'em. Maybe it's the angle? If it is wrong, I will fix it.
