Four-eyed Vulpine Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 This isn't really fan art or anything like that, so I thought I'd post this here, since it pertains more to the site and forums than anything else.While putting icons on links to the pages I visit most on my Object Dock on my old laptop, I attempted to use the little SF-O icon that appears next to the address bar and open tab, but the resolution was way too low for it to look good, especially when it's magnified during a mouseover on the dock.So I decided to make one myself, creating an abbreviation from the existing logo letters and adding the blue background with the starry sky borders used on the website and forums.It's 300 x 300, so the resolution should be good enough for any icon usage. It helps that Windows and programs such as Object Dock scales any image down to size while retaining the original quality. With blue banner: Alternate without blue banner: Feel free to download the image and use it as an icon for any of your site shortcuts on your desktop, taskbar, or Object Dock.Also feel free to critique and provide suggestions.

Star Fox Runner Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Cool looking icon! Though I would have to say ditch the blue bar and just go with a starry background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Four-eyed Vulpine Posted July 9, 2010 Author Share Posted July 9, 2010 I added the blue background to match the style of the current banner, but it would be easy to change, and I could make an alternate icon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZComposer Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 That's a perfect look for our Steam Group logo. Perhaps with a little modification:Damn photopaint and it's screwey colors... Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7 Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 That's a perfect look for our Steam Group logo. Perhaps with a little modification:Damn photopaint and it's screwey colors... Oh well.I was thinking the exact same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Four-eyed Vulpine Posted July 10, 2010 Author Share Posted July 10, 2010 Interesting use of the Valve icon. It's a nice touch.I probably would have used a shade of blue for the header that matched the blue banner, though. It would blend better.The alternate icon with the complete starry background should be up soon for those who would prefer it over the first one.
