UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Hi all,

just spent a little time making some icons of the New Polo and the VW logo. Have a look:






I made these in and for Mac OS X (Transparent, 128x128). If anybody knows how to make them for windoze, let me know!

You can download the lot here. EDIT: The zip file had an error in it, the new .sit file is now on the server.

Hope you likes,

Chris

PS: If you want yours iconized, send me a PM to let me know and e-mail a pic of your ride, at least 200 x 200 pixels.

allright, gotta try this at home on my ibook thx

How does that work anyway? Can you change the logo of your programs with these?

Hi,

to change the icons of a folder or application you have to do the following:

1 select the icon you want to use and 'control'-click it and selct 'get info from the menu.

2 click on the icon's picture to selct it and copy it.

3 Select the folder or application you want to change and 'control'-click it and selct 'get info from the menu.

4 click on the icon's picture and and paste the new icon into it.

That's all there is to it.

Chris

PS: The icons were made on an iBook

Awesome stuff, aussiepolo.

There are some apps out there can can convert Mac icons into pngs (and possibly windows icons as well).

I'll look into it tonight and see what I can do.

(BTW, I can't - for the life of me work out the Aussie Polo range - there doesn't seem to be any technical info on VW's Aussie site and you can only get the smallest car in a 3dr -- this can't be right can it??)

(You see, I might - just might - be heading out to Brisbane soon - telephone interview on Tuesday!!!)

Hey,

in OZ, there's the following lineup:

Polo Club, Match and Elite iwth varying levels of trim. All in 3 and 5 door and only with 1.4L 55kw engine

Chris

does anyone know of a way you could make these (or create somemore) for windows? could you convert it in Photoshop?

Windows versions can be found here.

Thanks for the conversion dxg

Would it be possible to create some with my car?

how are these created? is it a matter of re-sizing them then saving em as a png (and cant you do this in Photoshop?)?


Thanks in advance

Karl

This is the pic i'd like if possible

Hey Karl,

here you go:



The icon looks better for real, the jpg is a little too compressed...

To download click here. The sit contains both a mac icon and a windows .ico file. If it doesn't work, let me know.

Have a look at www.railheaddesign.com the guy makes some fantastic icons and just wrote up a tutorial on how to do it. All you need is Photoshop and Iconbuilder Pro.

Hope you like your icon,
Chris

Absolutly fantastic mate

(just got to spend an hour changing all the icons now)
