Icons for Parallels’ ArcGIS Apps

So Parallels does other nice things like put .app aliases (or maybe they’re shortcuts?) outside of the Windows virtual disk so you can launch the guest OS applications like you would normal OSX .app packages. Trouble is, they still look Windowsy. In fact, putting them in your dock makes Dock look like it’s got two bad teeth.

So despite my constant complaining about having so much work to do (a complaint which is itself despite the fact that I’m not important enough to possibly be that busy), I did waste about 15 minutes making new, higher resolution, more Appley icons for ArcCatalog and ArcMap. They’re not outstanding, but they’re better. Smile, dock:

Edit (2008-02-17): phabe makes a good point: here’s a zip with both icons in it. I’ll reiterate that these are not professionally-rendered icons, but they’re still better than a blotchy slob of pixels arranged to approximate an icon.
