Apple on proper icons



I find icon design fascinating. The good ones are small masterpieces in the Dock, while the bads are are usually so bad it is laughable. Thanks to the icon section of Apple's Human Interface Guidelines no developer should wonder that their icons should look like.

It would seem there are a number of different kinds of icons (application, utility, toolbar) and Apple has pointers for each kind.
