Graphics artist required for Icon creation (.ico)

Looking for a long term relationship with a graphics artist who can create good application icons (.ico). For this initial small project, I only need the 1 icon creating, but I would like at least 5 options creating. The icon I require is for a notepad application, so should be based around this theme. Perhaps something like the Windows Notepad icon would be good. I do not want an XP icon though, I would like the icon to be compatible with Windows 2000 aswell. The type of icon look I would like is something similar to the type found in 'WinRAR' (if you don't know the type, please download the program to get an idea - [login to view URL]). I'm not sure what exactly the format of these icons is in, but winRAR icons come out excellent in both Windows 2000 and XP - (rather than the XP version rendering badly in 2000). If you can create glyphs too, all the better, because in the future I will require the large/small toolbar button work too - again, take a look at the winRAR graphics. These are the type I like. (but i'd like to see your work too!) I have many future projects lined up for icon / glyph creation, and if I find a good artist, I can contact you in the future with these opportunities. This project is a small one though since only 1 icon is need for it. I would however, as I mentioned - like 5 notepad based icons (.ico files) created for this bid. The only real way for me to decide on a bidder, is to view your work - so if you have previous icon work you can let me view, that would be good, or if you can create a temp icon of this notepad idea to show me your skills, that would be great. ## Deliverables 5 icons (.ico files) related to a Notepad application - in a format that will render on both Windows XP and Windows 2000. I also require a small adjustment for the standard white .txt file icon - the note icon. The same icon really with an added 'n' or tag, and the final icon I choose will also need a 16x16 version. All the rest should be 32x32. 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law. Buyer will receive exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased.
