<p><img src='http://tlsoftware.files.wordpress.com/2007/03/test.png' alt='test.png' /><img src='http://tlsoftware.files.wordpress.com/2007/03/rc1.png' alt='rc1.png' /><img src='http://tlsoftware.files.wordpress.com/2007/03/rc2.png' alt='rc2.png' /></p>
<p>At the moment they all look a little too back-and-white or bland for my taste.  I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ll come up with something I find suitable soon.  Any comments would be appreciated.</p>
<p>For those of you who are interested, I used the open-source vector graphics editor <a href="http://www.inkscape.org/">Inkscape</a> to create these icons.  Although the UI is very clunky (and doesn&#8217;t fit well in Mac OS X) it is still a great tool for creating simple vector icons like these.  I&#8217;ve never used any of the commercial editors out there so I have nothing to compare it with but it seems to fill my needs without any problems.</p>
