Star Wars 3D Icon Collection Vol. 1
February 4th, 1996
Introduction: We are all familiar with the movies, the score, the toys, even the new novels and the CD-ROM games...
The hype is building up, and we all are waiting for the new prequel.
How about icons that match the style of Copland and BeBox icons.?
Since I am a designer, I wanted to do an awesome icon collection which I am capable of. That's why I spent three weeks on and off working on this set of icons. There were tons of Star Wars icons out there for people to download, but I guarantee this set of icons is nothing like you have seen before. It is definetly worth the few minutes of download time.
There were 39 of them, all in 3 quarter view, all done in Adobe Photoshop pixel by pixel, not from scans! And they were touched up in ResEdit for the masking. They match the style of the Copland and BeBox icons.
35 vehicles and characters are chosen from the Star Wars triology: A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi. Plus, 4 new vechiles from the new "Star Wars: Shadow of the Empire" multimedia frenzy coming this summer.
Hope you like these icons I created, and please email me your comments and feedback, and maybe what you want to see in the next collection.
