Post Cortex Command Dock Icon
Last year I had this really awesome dock icon for Cortex Command. It was simple the planet with the CC logo over it, but then I reformatted and lost the icon and it was only uploaded to a temporary host, so I couldn't get it back. I decided to try to remake it from scratch. You can find it below if you like it.

Pretty Good!
That certainly keeps the dock style, thanks.
However, it's pretty hard to see the text, it might be more attractive to just have a big ""CC" on top of the planet. Dunno, it's not bothersome enough for me to fix, so I doubt that anyone else cares.

Off-Topic: I liked your previous avatar more, Phantom.

On-Topic: I'd love to see the 'CC' version.

Alright, I've uploaded the alternate icon set. Hope you like it. I couldn't find anything bigger than that for the text. Again, if you want to modify it, I've included the PSD in the archive.

I centered the CC, and made it bigger. Just took a few minutes, but I felt like it was more prominent. If you don't want me to share it, I'll gladly take it down, but here it is, for those of you that want it.
Direct download, I believe.
Here's a 512X512 picture of it.

I've taken the alt, and made a further alt.

No ICO file as of yet, simply because I'm lazy and don't need one to use it.
Link updated with ico and icns.
(Also changed my avatar slightly, while I had photoshop open.)

When it's a dock icon, they're tiny and just vaguely there at all.
But if you want to crisp-up those, be my guest and share, I would not mind them being better.

Windows 7 has teh ultra taskbar that works as a dock, so I can't test it.

I think you did almost exactly what I did?

He took your picture, and fixed it a bit.

Oh ok. I don't really care, I just thought it was odd that we both did the same thing fairly soon. Now I realize that it's not the case.

Yeah, I just made your version "better."
... I was bothered by the alignment enough to want to fix it, you see.
Edit:
By request, I used the tool "Icon Composer" (built in tool in osX) to produce an ico and an icns file, here's the whole kit:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/814625/Cortex%20Command/Cortex%20Command%20Alt%20Alt%20Alt.zip
It's the same URL as the previous as I just replaced that one with the new one.
By the way, you get the same effect by opening a picture in preview, selecting all or a subsection, copying, and then pasting into the icon display when you Get Info on a file or folder.
