thx, for explaining, anyway I think the perfect classic icon is what mactracker has http://www.mactracker.ca/Mac128 great icon anyway I would use less glow and shadowand why platinum? is it platinum plus? is it too small to write Macintosh Plus on icon
Are you referring to my avatar or the Mini vMac icon?
My icon is of course the classic 128K and is PMS 423 beige.
The Mini vMac icon is both a Plus and platinum as Paul Pratt prefers the Plus icon given that the Mini vMac technically emulates a Plus. It also emulates a 128K & 512K, but that is a build option. The default option is a Plus. Also, platinum is the universal color for all Macs after 1986 and was the color the Plus was the longest. There was room to write Mac Plus, but at the scale it was reduced to, it was completely unintelligible and Paul preferred the cleaner version. As for light and shadow, it was designed to match the OS X icon style and ultimately signed off on by him. It still remains a build option and not default, since Paul still clings to the smallest possible files sizes which OS X graphics inflate unreasonably.
it fits perfect in Leopard or Tiger user interface guidlines, ... the mini vmacs custom icon would be good in OS X 10.0 to 10.2 ...
just mine opninionwell about your avatar I would put thiner border lines and change the gradient on screen it doesn't feel natural ... and sorry for my interfering in your icon design [
