Icons

OK, I've looked though hell and high water for a specific Netscape icon that is a 3D cube with the Netscape logo pasted all over it. I've seen it in screenshots of Linux distributions and it was even in my LinuxPPC 2000 when it was installed on my HD. I'm not installing Linux just to get that icon. Does anyone here know which icon I'm refering to? I figured you guys in the design crowd would know what I'm talking about, or where I can find one.

Did you make this icon or did you find it somewhere? I can think of some similar icons on a translucent/transparent colorless/slight shade of white cube with the X Windows "X" on it. It would be nice to have the same "cube" (angles/perspective) as the Netscape icon you supplied for the Adobe Acrobat Reader icon and BBEdit icon.

I made it myself.
I could make some more for other applications.
Which apps do you want?

wdw:

Here is what I'm imagining. The AOL Instant Messenger icon is a trigonal pyrammid (A triangle on all four sides/faces of a 3D triangle) with part of the inside hollowed out with a sphere inside of it. The sphere is a dark pearlescent blue with reflections of each of the trigonal pyramid's corners visible. The trigonal pyramid is a lighter pearlescent blue. And we can't forget that yellow dude with the black outline. He could be 3D if you want to put the time into him, but the 3D trigonal pyramid with the sphere inside is what I'm looking for most.

Attached is my sketch:

The X Windows red "X" that I'm imagining is on a transparent/translucent cube, just the like one you made for Netscape (same cube angles/perspective) with the red "X" plainly visible on the sides facing the viewer's eyes and the other "X's" on the other sides slightly visible. I don't know if an "X" on the top would be too much with the transparency/translucency.

Attached is my sketch on your cube:
