I’m definitely not an icon designer myself, but it’s my understanding that people generally just use Photoshop, or, if your budget is tight, one of its less-expensive equivalents such as Pixelmator. All you need is a set of images in an alpha-containing format like .png, scaled to different sizes, which doesn’t really seem like the sort of thing you’d need a specialized tool for. > I was also thinking of having a custom icon for my application made by a > graphics designer, so any recommendations about this would be helpful as well. Well, I can put in a plug for Adam Betts. He designed a new icon and front window design for me not long ago for Pacifist 3.0.x (http://charlessoft.com/), and I think it’s quite spectacular. He’s probably not the cheapest around, but if you want something really good, I’d recommend him in a heartbeat.
