FatCat0623 Posted February 21, 2009 ID:58469 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I've been using this shortcut icon as my MBAM icon for quite some time. It's one of the custom MBAM icons i made for myself with GIMP because i wanted a different-looking MBAM icon to compliment with my other desktop icons.Later on it comes to my mind that i could share with you about this icon...and so here i am!I'm not a professional icon-maker, nor did i expertise in using image editing software like Photoshop. Please tell me what you think... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insomniac Posted February 23, 2009 ID:58946 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I love the shield, but the M seems a bit lacking. I might mess around with it and see what it turns out like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
exile360 Posted February 23, 2009 ID:58948 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I think it's sexy. I agree about the M though, perhaps if it were "candied" up a bit it would look a bit better. I love the split circuit board and target background though, that's awesome! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insomniac Posted February 23, 2009 ID:58949 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Heh, here is my 'improved' version.Sadly when I saved it as an .ICO and tried to use it, although it worked it came out very grainy and looked aweful. Must have somthing to do with the image size and the way GIMP saves to .ico.All I did was alter the colours a bit, added some shadow behind the M, and blurred the M a tiny bit. I also made the background transparent instead of white. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
exile360 Posted February 23, 2009 ID:58950 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I like it. If you use .PNG (which can be used for icons) it will give better quality than .ico (which is the equivelant of a .bmp file). In fact, if you rename a .bmp file to .ico in Windows it can be used as an icon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insomniac Posted February 23, 2009 ID:58960 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Got bored, so I messed around with it a bit more. Now I really want to try making one from scratch but I've gotta think of some sort of design. How did you go about making that shield in the first place? I'm assuming you used some photos of circuit board as stock and went from there.I think I might have used a tad too much glow Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FatCat0623 Posted February 23, 2009 Author ID:58996 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Thanks 4 the feedback, i think maybe it's time i remake a new MBAM icon, since i agree with you all that the icon looks slightly grainy when converted from png image into icon. @Insomniac,To be honest, that shield was actually less of my work. Like i said, i'm not much of a photoshop or GIMP player so my techniques aren't quite sharp.I had to dig around the web for a satisfactory shield and the version of the shield i found was actually less detailed in its lining and it's blue in color.So what i've done is that i've added a few more lines, sharpened up the shield a bit, adjusted the gamma/hue of the icon to depict red instead of blue and added some lighting effects to make it looks as though it's basked under the sun.I had another identical version, only that it's copper in color and i think it's not that nice, so i decided to share the red version here.Go ahead and modify the icons as much as you like. If you like the original shield that i've found just tell me to post it up here... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdavfrew Posted February 24, 2009 ID:59238 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I created a picture/icon of Malwarebytes a long time ago, and decided to share it... http://www.mypicx.com/02242009/Malwarebytes_Picture/Please excuse the blurry effect and the ragged edges, as well as the lack of innovativity; I actually got the idea of the picture from a rogue antivirus program's icon.

cdavfrew Posted February 24, 2009 ID:59240 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Oops... no edit button. I did some quick changes to the picture, and it looks slightly better, I hope. http://www.mypicx.com/02242009/Malwarebytes_Icon/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
