With the release of BBEdit 8.0, has come the most inexplicable new feature. The application icon has been updated with the most grotesque typography, looking like a Comic Sans derivative. For a serious, professional, mac-only application this is so inappropriate:
I was never a fan of the previous logo, but this took the biscuit. So, to avoid looking having to look at this, I whipped up a quick replacement over lunch:
It’s by no means perfect, or intended as a serious replacement proposal to BareBones Software. It ‘is what it is’ - what I would prefer to look at instead. If you also happen to prefer it, you can download the icon from here. There are 2 options for changing the icon. Either ctrl-click BBEdit to ‘show package contents’, and replace the ‘BBEditApplication.icns’ file in the resources folder, or, copy and paste the folder icon in the get info window.
