Adobe CS Icons..
Adobe CS's icons are currently the most hated icon set and personally I'm not sure why. I thought it was a nice changes from previous icons where they are too cluttered and cheaply done. Of course, it takes time to remember which icons belong to what applications but after that they're fairly easy to remember. I also like the fact that they're more consistent with each others instead of giving each of them their own colors.
If you hated it, how come? Do you replace the icons with something else?
I think they're pretty cool!
The splash screens are also nice.

Posted by: Ricky Romero at June 7, 2004 11:34 PMI like them. The white squares makes them easy to find in the dock.
Now lets talk about the new office 2004 icons. Did they got beaten with the ugly stick or what?

Posted by: B. B. Charles at June 13, 2004 02:44 AMAre you planning to make new icons for Adobe CS like you did with Flash? That'd be excellent.
Posted by: Collin at June 14, 2004 11:52 PMi know many people find these icons ugly, cheap, and impractical, but i thought they were amazing from when i first saw them. i think they're beautiful- the whole packaging line in the CS is awesome and very Apple™-ish. Two Thumbs up to Adobe.
