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

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:

github.com/lucifr/Alfred-Extens … dextension[/quote]

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:

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

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.

sub·lime/səˈblīm/
Adjective:	
Of such excellence, grandeur, or beauty as to inspire great admiration or awe: "ranging from the sublime to the ridiculous".

Sublimation: making light of heavy works.

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?

Using this.

Guys,… the new logo… the S in orange looks bad, and the perspective of the icon just dont work on my mac.

Also on windows 7 i use the bottom bar in small size and the new icon just suck… the white border appears as if the image doesnt load and the S is not visible, the previous icon, the darkblue was beatiful.

I know the people beside this new logo are brillant but this new logo just dont works…

Just updated and the new icon looks horrid. I prefer the original.

What about the real “S” key from your keyboard
