Blog

We are honored to be included into the nice blog post "Looking for the best DMG design" by Roustem Karimov. Roustem collected some of the best .dmg file background to show how a simple file can, on a Mac, becomes a form of art. That was the intention of Bonsai Studio too, to make of every single particular a little artwork, it doesn't matter if it is a simple string of code or a header background, we love to make arts, and we love to share that with you guys

Roustem is one of the authors of the usefull app 1Passwd, a password manager fo Mac os X, take a look at that, I am sure you will find it really really nice. He is also the co-author of Switcher's blog together with David Teare, did you just switched? Take a look at that.

I would like to introduce you Nemo! Or better, its icon.
I am working to the icon of Nemo, a neat newsgroup reader made by Malcolm, check it out. I would like to know what do you think about it!?

The original idea for the icon was to distinguish it from the other applications made to catch informations in this neverending sea that is the internet.
But at the same time I needed to keep the tech aspect that a so specific application should have to let the icon say: "ok guys, we have all the latest tech tools to help you gather your infos!"

So, here is the idea: "a space ship... no, better a submarine (do you remember the "sea of infos"?)... even better a tech submarine with a receiver (to catch news...) with a fishy texture to let you know we are under the sea (of infos)!"

Well, let me know about it, critques, compliments or wethever.
A note:
I perfectly agree with Malcolm where he wrote:

I would a bigger body and a small tip...

It is true, it would be better to enlarge the icon to fit more space. I will do it.
Oh, yes, the icon:
