Seriously, there's a website called convertico.com and another called mediafire.com ... I'm just taking the images, converting it with one and storing it on the other, both for free. Some of you should look into it.
btw, I'm using Highway's image for my own stuff. Having a narrow black border like that which doesn't match would bug me. Big pixels don't matter when the icon size is reasonable (as you can clearly see from the above screenshots.)
Also, the background scenery in the supposed "Mac version" is just a green copy of the blue background for Stan in Chapter 4's icon.
Because they both take place on the same island with the pox hovering in the sky, one at day and the other at night?
Yes, but all of the original PC icon background art is different in style or pattern, not just color. It feels cheap to think they may have just opened the Chapter 4 icon art in Photoshop, taken out Stan, moved the tint slider over to a different spot, added GB's concept art and that's it. They should have made the background unique compared to the others. At the very least, if they were lazy, they could have added the concept art to the purple.
At least The_Highway had the common sense to use an entirely different background, why not TTG?
edit: I know several people have complained about TTG taking a character's basic model and reusing it on someone else. And, though I don't really care about that, isn't this the same thing? While the models don't bother me, for some reason this icon background art does.
Sorry, then. Well, I don't know why telltale would reuse the same background for Chapter 1 as they did for 4 and just change the color.
Both episode 1 and 4 take place on the same island, so why not have the same background? 4's background is the normal night-time Flotsam sky, while 1's is Flotsam's sky tainted be the pox cloud.
Edit: Each background shows the location that each of those characters were in during the particular episode anyway.
Edit 2: Oh, whoops. This has already been said (partially).
Yes, Elaine was definately among clouds. She was in a hut for most of the episode, and when she came out, the sky was not blue (or something, I'm a bit sketchy) because of the seige. I'm not poking the stick at you, haydenwce27, I'm talking to Telltale. But, I'm very likely wrong. VERY likely. So likely, I don't know why I'm posting this.
Also, mine show the pox of lechuck too... {sheepish}

You're right. The whole episode (minus the ending) was set at around sunset/sundown, so the the sky was pinkish with orange clouds.
No there's no video, or at least I haven't seen one. I played it on my macbook and instantly realised that these lines were not newly recorded dialogue from Boen, but copied straight from the original version of TMI1.
It's not really THAT distracting (since you don't HAVE to speak to him for those lines) if you haven't played the original version, but if you've already got Harrington's inflections in your mind, it's really quite noticable.

In any event, I'm reposting the link to the .ico file version of the OP's image:

and an .ico file of the "Mac version":

Supposed "Mac Version"... it IS the actual icon from the Mac(!) version.
I made a screenshot of my folder, laying above your screenshot for comparision reasons.
Whomever does the artwork for the icons at TTG needs a good scolding for that.

But I hear you about caring for weird details.

This is fascinating!
