Hi guys, found this in my Google travels; supposedly its the grid Apple designers have used/use for their icon designs.

So you might want to base your icon designs on the same grid....

Here's a small version so you know what I'm talking about:

And here's the link you can get it from:

Hope someone, somewhere finds it useful...

    As coincidence happens, I've just been sent an email about a new icon template for the Mac, plus on the same site, icon templates for iDevices as well as Android to download. Check out this link:

    All free although there's a donate button if you want to use it.

    :D Oh, sorry, Bray – I guess this new one is a bit more business-like, and not as friendly as the old one - (that's if you considered the old one "friendly" anyhow!.... )

    Either way, I hope you do get used to it.... :smile:
