Does anyone know who designed the icon Inkscape uses on OS X? (you can see it here: http://inkscape.modevia.com/macosx-snap/?C=M;O=D). Does anyone have it in a vector format?
That icon was originally created by someone called "M-Rick" who posted an early Inkscape package attempt to the old Inkscape wiki, according to this mailing list post: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.graphics.inkscape.devel/9887 See also, Wayback Machine snapshot of the old wiki page: http://web.archive.org/web/20050307212813/http://www.inkscape.org/cgi- bin/wiki.pl?CompilingMacOsX
As I recall, there was no accompanying SVG file for the icons. It wouldn't be hard to recreate though, given the standard Inkscape logo SVG file.
I would like to remove the paintbrush from the icon to make it more consistent with Inkscape on the other platforms, if that's OK with the author. Then I'll use this new icon to create OS X like document icons for SVG, EPS, etc.
FWIW, I also personally quite like the paintbrush in the OSX icon, but I'll be happy to go along with general opinion if people want to get rid of it.
