The enclosed folder contain 11 icons based on the upcoming Mac OS System 8. I have taken the basic design of the Sys 8 folders and customized them to try and make them as "cool" as possible. Basic folders such as applications and utilites are represented, as well as some personal favorites like X-Files and the games folder.
Legality:
You may freely distribute this collection of folder icons, provided you please give me credit, distribute the collection in its original form with all the files intact, and you cannot charge a fee for them. Also, you cannot publish anything about my icons without my permission. I would love to hear about any applications for the icons that you might be thinking about. Just write me and I'll be happy to give you permission to use them.
How To make Use of the Icons:
1. You need system 7 or higher.
2. Do a "Get Info" (File menu) on the original folder icon file that you want to use.
3. Click on the icon in the window; choose "Copy" (Edit menu).
4. Close the window, then "Get Info" on destination file/disk.
5. Click on the icon, choose "Paste" (Edit menu).
6. Don't forget to e-mail me and let me know what you think!

Personal:
Being a multi-media designer by day and an icon creator/Dark Forces player by night does have its disadvantages. For one, I don't get out much. I work for a Greensboro based multi-media company named Paradigm Interactive. We have done two educational CD titles named Discover The Elements (a jr.high/high school ROM about the Periodic Table of the Chemical Elements) and another called Skyworks (that teaches kids grades 3 and up to look up and observe the sky and all the wonders in it).
More Icons:
You can download all of the icon sets I've created (Batman: The Animated Series, Buckaroo Banzai & The Far Side Collection and many more) as well as other cool multimedia titles at my WWW and ftp sites on AOL. Point your browser at:

For the ultimate collection of kick butt icons for the Macintosh, my friends and I have created a new web page called the Iconfactory. This page will be a storehouse for all our future icon collections so that anyone will have a central location from which to download them. The page also contains links to our pages as well. We would love to have you add The Iconfactory to your list of bookmarks. The URL is:

Thanks:
I wanted to say thanks to a key person, my best friend Mindy who puts up with me making icons all the time, instead of paying attention to her like I oughta be!
