Cog VM app icon

Hello,

i almost done with generating an app bundle for Cog VM , and i found
that it is using
a Croquet Icon.
Which doesn't seems right to me.
I remember there was a guy , who presented a nice cog icon and other graphics..
anyone knows where i can find them?

Hi Igor. For Pharo, you can check in the "media" folder of: https://gforge.inria.fr/frs/?group_id=1299

For Squeak, you can just take a normal squeak VM, take the app, right button, show package content, and then navigate to /Contents/Resources

There you will see all the .icns files

Cheers

Re: [squeak-dev] Cog VM app icon

Yes. Pharo seems having nice icons

I like the 'pharo-icon.icns' which can be found in:

https://gforge.inria.fr/frs/download.php/22309/pharo.zip

But that is for Pharo.

I think that Cog VM deserves to have own default icon.
And only if it packaged with some other stuff (like pharo-one-click)
it then could be changed
to something else like pharo icon.

The only logo i found is on Eliot's blog page
http://www.mirandabanda.org/images/LooneyCogSketchSolidSmall.gif

But its dimensions is 125px × 145px

It would be good have it in high res, like 512 × 512 (one of the Mac's
standard icon size)

Speaking of Croquet,

I downloaded a Pharo 1.1.1 one-click image yesterday, ran it, and when
I went to exit, the prompt called it Croquet, not Pharo (i.e. "Exit
Croquet without saving?"). That's not right, either :)
(Incidentally, the latest Seaside one-click image does the same thing).

Not icons either, but you might like

The GIMP should be willing to create an icon, but there are probably color depth and size restrictions to think about.

Nice logo. Though with a quarter turn, it looks like it will fall apart.
Maybe the C-cog can be made whole with a neutral shade or an outline.

It would be good have it in high res, like 512 × 512 (one of the Mac's
standard icon size)

that would be my preference. The Croquet icon came from the desire to brand Teleplace's Cog VM as a Croquet VM because we're using Croquet. But if we're going to use a different icon I would very much like it to be derived from the looney gears CoG in a wheel idea. It's distinctive and Cog is a good name for a VM (for lots of reasons).

So, do you have the original vector file(s) of it?

One of the reasons to have distinct icon is when you running multiple
images/vms, you can make a difference.

I think that with auto-build , we can even do a little trick, like add
a version subtitle to icon.
So, each distinct version build VM will have own original icon.

noo.. that would be even uglier than sketch.
temporarily i put a cog [1] from free icons site, but i wait for
Daniel Lovaz, who's having an original vector version (i hope),
to reply here or privately about fate of the Cog logo he made.
