It’s only a few weeks before the long-and-oft-delayed fourth chapter in one of popular cinema’s most beloved series, Indiana Jones, either lets us relive our childhood dreams or dashes them against the mountain. The Iconfactory’s Anthony Piraino has designed four sets of Jones-themed icons for Mac, Windows and Candybar, based on each film that will release each week until the release of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. This week, it’s a set based on the movie that started it all, Raiders of the Lost Ark. These are officially authorized icons too! Additionally, the official Indiana Jones site has desktops and AIM icons!

I can has superior Leopard icons? It’s no secret that the default folder in Leopard are a bit on the boring side, so it’s days like this when we are thankful for icon designers like Susumu Yoshida of McDo Design. MacOSX Cats3 is a great alternative built-in system icons with an obscene number of color variations and an even more obscene raw number of icons (411!). Available for Mac, Windows and Candybar.

We spied a great couple of iPhone-styled PNG icon sets at Camtessa Design (which is in Spanish). While these icons are great, it was this preview that piqued our curiosity:

So when does this wonderful looking Barna System come out??

Battlestar Galactica is the best show on TV. This isn’t opinion, it’s absolute fact. If you don’t like it, then there is clearly something wrong with you, and you’re a Cylon. One of the lame ones. With the fourth season underway, we thought we’d collect some of the Galactica GUI options available for you to download. The Iconfactory’s Corey Marion has not one, not two, but three excellent sets of icons for Mac, PC and Candybar and SciFi.com has a series of wallpapers and AIM icons!

So say we all!

In close to 20 years, it’s been really hard to track down a good TV icon. Up until a few years ago, TV was just a plastic box that spewed out programming, but now with the advent of HD and good industrial design, a good-looking TV with a good-looking chassis is a fashion statement, a status symbol and your one way ticket to spectacular heights of respect and popularity. On that note, Jonas Rask has My TV, an excellent pair of icons (also see his retro-TV icon) dedicated to his Samsung HD panel in stand and wall-mounted flavors (Mac & Windows).
