I didn't like 2 Strong Bads on my desktop, so I made a new icon
Yeah, there was a blurb in a previous thread about who would grace the star in Dangeresque 3. Dangeresque is cool and all, but I didn't like having 2 Strong Bads on my desktop, so I put Renaldo in a star and called it a day. Check it out:
I used a resource editor to actually change the icon group in the .exe itself, but if anyone wants a copy that you can assign to shortcuts, I dumped a copy at my geocities account. It's here:

Right-click, save as. Don't worry, its a full icon group. it's not that small.
Edit: If Trogdor isn't in the EP5 icon, I'd better get to work. But that's a gimme. Who else would it be?

edit: word of caution, that orange on green is really starting to hurt my eyes.....
Edit: Like they say at staples -- That was easy.
Double Edit: I modified it a little, too much empty space.
Triple Edit: Hey I got pretty close to what telltale used with that first try.
I'd like to see them put the 20X6 version of Trogdor that appeared in... Happy Trogday, was it? I think Stinkoman called him "Trogador" and asked if roaring at him was his "crazy mixed up way of asking for some kind of birthday challenge". That guy looked at least 13% cooler than the average coolness of Trogdor divided by Stinkoman multiplied by height... er, I mean, yeah... uh, wait...
If you go to my geocities site, it should show up really teeny-tiny (assuming that hourly bandwidth cap hasn't been maxed out). Just right-click on that teeny-tiny icon, and save as. I'd put it somewhere out of the way, like in the game folder.
Don't worry, if it's assigned to something, it can be expanded up to 256x256 pixels, there's 7 actual icons in that file altogether.
As for the Trogdor one, I didn't icon-ify it. I just drew it and photochopped it to look like an icon. I already had a layered star and gradient outline, took me about 15 minutes to pop Trogdor in there. I'm sure when the real one comes out, it'll look much better.
Shouldn't be hard, I'll see what I can fire up. No more classes today, I ain't got nothing better to do....
*ahem* finals erm.. studying *cough cough*
Perhaps Telltale should hire you to be their "guy who does all the weird little odd ends, like desktop icons, really well". You'd be great! Telltale would be at least 1.3% better with you on board.
That has to be the most flattering thing anyone's ever said about me. But I'm no artist, I just take pictures that already exist and piddle with them a bit.
It took a minute, but this guy was offering a challenge:
So I did what I always do when strangers tell me to do stuff: I obliged.
Left - Original, Right - Modified:
I dunno, something still doesn't look right, but I can't put my finger on it.
Edit: Teeth, If you're a big stickler for this kind of thing, I posted a copy of that modified icon group here:

Personally, I didn't care about the eyes, but hey. Anything to help out. The only reason I didn't like the Dangeresque icon was my icons went Strong Bad - Homestar - The Cheat - Strong Bad again.
Homestar and The cheat didn't have that much involvement in them two games, why not put another character in there? Share a bit of the wealth? Renaldo just seemed like the best option.
Perhaps it's because, let's face it, Coach Z is creepy.
But I do agree that more than one Strong Bad-based icon next to one another is kinda dumb... They should of had Homestar on 101, The KOT on 102, and leave 103 - 104 as is.
Also, if the 105 icon has Strong Bad again instead of an awesome image of Trogdor emblazoned on it, then I'll, I'll... I'll figure something out, and it won't be good. (Maybe i'll post those pics I found on the net from telltales 2005 "Christmas party".)
Actually, I don't know if that will work... since "leather" is coming back into style anyways. (P.S. Is that why the wall had to come down?)
I was thinkin' that too, but it was mostly impossible to fit them both in there while still being able to tell what the icon is when its small-sized. The first one I made of Trogdor (with his whole body) did have stinkoman in it too at one time. It just looked bad when it was small.
looks like telltale themselves made it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We used Dangeresque because we thought that people seeing the episode for the first time in the Wii Shop channel would potentially find a picture of Strong Bad in his Dangeresque shades a cooler thing to click on than Coach Z with two hats.
Ha! I never noticed before! I always thought people in Arabian countries always wore their fezzes above their turbans.
Yeah, that's a lie. But it all just looks so natural.
If you've got it on the Wii, you don't have a desktop, let alone desktop icons.
That you've got there is a pointless post.
The Wii does have a menu, and therefore menu icons, though.
