Create a logo for a emergency recovery drive.
— Reason —
I recently created a partition on one of my externals strictly for the purpose of doing maintenance and emergency recovery work on my mac, specifically my main boot volume, which you can't really do while running from it.
Afterwards I realised that there was no Apple icon for such a volume and all my other ones had job-specific icons, such as Time Machine and such.
— Software —
* Adobe Illustrator CS3 for the symbol in the centre of the icon so I could make sure it was perfectly shaped and aligned.
* Adobe Photoshop CS3 for the rest of the icon plus the composition.
* IconComposer to output the .icns file.
— Notes —
The process was simple enough. Created the symbol in Illustrator and took a default external volume icon and changed the colour to red. Then combined all the pieces in Photoshop with a bit of masking and layer styles.
The icon is Leopard ready at 512x512.
— Files In Download —
PSD, PNG, ICNS.

In which case using an Apple logo as my base not only a time saver but allows them to match rather seamlessly, which, as I said, was kinda the point.

Thanks though!
