For some reason, the string around the folder icon seemed brilliant to me. It was the kind of thing you could only do in the kind of giant icons they had on NeXT.

The converted font did look pretty good on Windows. I wish I knew who I got it from, but this is way back in 96. I still have my NeXTSTEP and OpenStep discs. The ugly blue of the current plain icons makes me long to figure out how to put them on my Mac again.
