cpSublimeTextIcon

About

A custom icon for Sublime Text. The design plays off the image of an I-bar (text) cursor, reimagining it as a distorted ‘st’ ligature. It is available in both light and dark flavours, and is optimised for 512, 256, 128, 32 and 16-pixel sizes (including 2x versions for Retina displays).

Original design by Cole Peters. Feel free to fork or make pull requests!

You will need the Sketch beta (v2.3.2 build 5137 or later) to edit the master file. Icon Slate is available for download on the App Store, or you can use another converter of your choice (preferably one that includes options for including 2x assets for Retina displays).

Version notes

2.0: Same concept, new design.

1.2: Reduced the height of the I-bar. Added some extra weight to the 128pt icon to aid with clarity when displayed in the Dock. Darkened the dark icon a bit.

1.1: Converted the tile from a rounded rectangle to a circle — more OSX friendly. Some subtle colour adjustments. Also added an outline to the light 16pt icon to aid visibility within OSX's list view.

1.0.1: Converted the “st” type for 16pt icons to outlines

1.0: First release!
