Use Icon Generator Pro to Create Adobe CS5 ‘like’ Icons for Twitter

Do you like Adobe Creative Suite’s new application icons? If so, you’re in luck because Yasu (known for the Adobe Air application Icon Generator) just released a completely revamped Adobe Air App that allows you to create customized icons similar to those found in CS5. The application also allows you to create CS5 image icons and CS4 icons. You have the option of saving the icons in 5 different sizes and the option to update your Twitter icon from the application.

I will provide you with a brief walkthrough explaining how the application works. If you have any comments or questions, please use the comments form at the end of the guide.

Icons saved with the following dimensions: 256X256, 128X128, 48X48, 32X32, 16X16
