Satoh's icon:

And here's the clean 1.02 exe it's embedded with:

I understand some of the patches that look for specific file sizes may or may not work.
If this is an issue patch your exe, download the icon, then use IconChanger, rather simple to use and well made program.

I am using Windows 7 and I have multiple backgrounds scattered throughout these desktop shots so I apologize for the lack of consistency. :-D
If it's an issue I can retake them on a gray desktop background.

I did something like this. Personally, I like mine better, since I did it in high res so it's scalable in Vista, but I can't share it since I used some resources that weren't mine without permission.
 
Uh oh.
I didn't contact Satoh about this, he just posted it for me in a thread and he seemed like he didn't care much.
 :oops:
 
Here's the PNG version:

I got the high-res logo without text from here:
http://insertcredit.net/ff7/logo.htm

All I did was rotate it, resize, and add the text and a white border around the comet. I don't remember if the ICO version has manually scaled images for 16x16, 32x32, etc. It might just be the 256x256 that scales nicely in Vista.

Perhaps ditch the text entirely?
Would be nicer just to have the meteor, as it says Final Fantasy VII on the icon caption :)
 
That.

Looks just like Satoh's.  I think he used the same site.
So

Now what?
 
Using This Icon, I don't really look at the icons for files, but might as well have a Higher res version  :-)
 
I scanned in my PAL box: http://www.imagenerd.com/uploads/ff7_logo_hi_res-fybL3.jpg

Might come in handy?  :-)

I'm sure it will at some point ;-)

But we'll have to do some smoothing on it.

EDIT:

Here's what I was able to do in a few minutes with GIMP's blur/sharpen tool. The tail still looks quite bad, but I'm sure it wouldn't be too difficult for someone with more knowledge of image editing than me (i.e. someone with any knowledge of image editing) to make it look delightfully smooth.

No, I'm comparing a few of the minor details, and it would seem he didn't use the same source image as me.
 
Ah yes, I see the color difference in the tail.

Okay, just want to make sure this released is sanctioned under his name only for now.
 
Hey guys, this project caught my interest. That meteor image that Covarr found looked really good, so I'm working on making one from that scan that hotdog963al uploaded.

This is what I've got so far...I've filled in the missing parts in gray, all that's left to do is use a clone stamp tool to color them properly, then apply some smoothing filters. Feel free to give input!

 
Thanks! That means a lot considering I don't really regard myself to be that artistically skilled. Here it is clone stamped, but no filter yet...finding the right combo of filters for this is gonna be tricky...

 
Wow that looks pretty good, can't even tell anything was there other then the image haha
 
You guys again?? come on..hehehe :lol:

I smell this thread closing and joining the Team Avalanche 2d overhaul Post....am I right? :roll:
 
Not really. The game icon has nothing to do with the graphics in the game itself
 
All Right! Filters applied, and lots of manual blurring/smoothing done. I'd say this is finished... Now it's time to add some transparency and make it into an icon!



EDIT: All right, here's my attempt at an icon...made more or less from scratch! Tell me what you think!

Here's a PNG of what I've got

Click here to grab the .ico file!
*Note: you have to right click and save target/link as... because geocities sucks.

I'll give the config icon a whirl, too...

EDIT THE SECOND:
Here's a quick FF7Config. Hope you like it!
