: Guidelines or resources to create an application icon based on typefaces I've been using an Open Source application for a while now and, given that its current icon looks somewhat basic, I thought

I've been using an Open Source application for a while now and, given that its current icon looks somewhat basic, I thought it would be great if I could contribute back with a perhaps more professional looking one.

Such icon would be made of typefaces, two characters representing the initials of the application name (e.g. 'LI' for 'Lorem Ipsum'), so I was wondering if you guys could recommend a good resource/tutorial out there to go ahead and try to follow that.

On a side note I have to say that, on the one hand, I will quite probably be using Inkscape for the job, and on the other hand, a sort of disclaimer if you will, that my design skills are currently rather basic.

Any advice will be sincerely appreciated. Thanks much in advance!

Further to my comment above, you may find more tutorials by searching for Illustrator tutorials and doing the corresponding steps in Inkscape.

This tutorial is aimed at photoshop but it has very detailed descriptions about each of the elements that help a icon "fit in" with OS X styling: psd.tutsplus.com/tutorials/designing-tutorials/create-a-custom-mac-osx-style-ring-binder-address-book-icon/
