I posted this back in the tester request thread and I know someone saw it because I'm now allowed in this forum despite the fact that I have only 1 other post (that one) and came from a link on Slashdot (though admittedly I'd heard of you guys before that). Anyway, here it is:

...I have a dual 2.5GHz G5, a love of everything Zelda, and a few ideas for a nice icon for you guys. Here's an icon I threw
together.

I meant that as an icon for ZQuest but now that I've seen the editor's nice icon, I think it would better suit Zelda Classic. I'll post a new version with the shield in tact. The artwork is all original but looks similar to the original Zelda shield but with the triforce in the upper left as on the old ZC site front page.

I might as well throw in here that I REALLY hope the ZC Icon for mac doesn't get changed. I think the cartridge icon looks damn cool. In fact, I kinda with is was available for the windows version.

The problem with the cart is that it contains Nintendo's artwork, not even redrawn. It's also hard to identify in smaller sizes. I'm not saying my icon is better at all, just different. I'd be willing to redraw the Zelda cart to be more legible and be a bit original.

Hrmmm... I wonder about the possibility of having a regular version and a Gold, limited edition one. When the full version goes public, the gold edition (with the cartridge icon, redesigned or not) would be available for download for one day. After that, a version with a different icon is there. Thoughts?
