Music Studio
Icon Collection

What's This?

Icons of musical equipment I own or would like to own. I tried to make icons of things that have a unique look, such as the red Nord Lead™ and the Novation BassStation™ with it's little strip of blue across the top. There were lots of other icon I made, but most of them weren't very good, or just looked too much like a non-descript box.

For those who have no interest in electronic music, I've included 4 icons of 'studio clutter'.

If you're looking for more music icons, there are some very good sets elsewhere on the web. Here's a little list:

The Iconfactory (http://www.iconfactory.com)
WOC: 5 has a really great Technics 1200 turntable icon. I couldn't do  a better rendition than The Iconfactory, so there's no 1200s in this collection.

Iron Devil (http://www.din.or.jp/~irondv/)
Tomoyuki Miyano is one of the best anywhere. If you're looking for guitar icons, his site is the place to go. You should check out his other works too, which are all fantastic and original.

SMD's Web (http://perso.wanadoo.fr/smd/)
This site is both English and French, and has some icons of traditional instruments. Very nice too.

Epoch Icons (http://www.epochicons.com/)
A Pixelpalooza 98 set of studio items. Lots more here too.

I would like to give credit where it is due: Thanks goes to the Iconfactory, for least of all influencing the face of icon design as it's represented today, and for influencing my 'coffee maker' icon, which is based on (but not copied from) their WOC: 2 icon set. I'd also like to thank Tomoyuki Miyano from Iron Devil (http://www.din.or.jp/~irondv/), and Julius Niiniranta of Epoch Icons (http://www.epochicons.com), whose guitar effects pedal icons influenced my own icons of the same devices.
