A Nice Eclipse Icon – Suited for Mac OS X

Posted on 18 May, 2009 by shaun

I’ve always found the default Eclipse App Icon to be a bit.. lacking. I’m pretty sure I’m not the only person who feels this way. Occasional quests to find a better icon have usually resulted in disappointment. My latest search lead me to this icon. Not great, but it inspired me to finally sit down and try to create my own.

The First Stab

Here’s my initial attempt:

OS X Eclipse Icon 256x256 Black

Mac OS X Eclipse Logo 256x256 on Black

I’m not entirely satisfied with it, but it’s a start. Here’s how it looks in my dock:

OS X Eclipse Icon Docked

You can download the Icon (and it’s “source”) here:

Mac Eclipse Icon Pack

    Thank you, Shaun. I’ve built an eye-catcher graphic based on your work for a blog post about this year’s EclipseCon http://heikobehrens.net/2011/03/18/what-is-eclipsecon/

    Good work. I’ll use that from now on.
    May I ask where I can get that terminal icon of yours?

    No problem, I have attached my Terminal icon to the bottom of the post.
