Vector artwork of the Adobe Tools icons?
gcoghill (22 points) | Fri, 2007-08-03 07:47Does anybody know of a website to download vector art of the icons for the Adobe tools (i.e. pen tool, brush tool, hand tool, etc.)?
I am trying to avoid creating these myself if they are out there already…
I would imagine what you are asking for is copywritten and therefore not publically available.

Hmmm… I have seen plenty of tutorials using the tools via screenshot, and this is basically what I am after here - a way to create some tip sheets without using pixellated screenshots. Just want clean artwork.

Well, they may have had the rights to do so. :)
Here's a site where you could start as far as icons are concerned:

Yeah, not looking for desktop icons though, but thanks.
And somehow I doubt Adobe would object to someone using screenshots of their tools for a keyboard shortcut chart, but who knows…

Sorry, I misunderstood your request. The trouble is I can only find icons for the apps, not the tools, and they aren't in vector:

No worries, I appreciate your help.
I am looking to build some keyboard shortcut graphics for tutorials/download (free), but would prefer not to use pixellated enlarged screenshots of the tools.
Maybe I should browse around or contact Adobe about this…

In the time you'll spend chasing dead end trying to find exactly what you want or talking with Adobe you could have drawn these yourself and moved on.
We've all been lured into a belief that everything we want is somehow out there just waiting for us to find it on the internet. I've wasted more time than I'd like to remember and in most cases have to resort to doing it myself anyway.
It's not a pressing issue and I have plenty of work keeping me busy. Putting the feelers out can't hurt.
If it comes down to it, I will draw them, but it's at the bottom of my list to complete the project if I have to go that route.
That's why I dropped a line here, thought someone might know about a resource out there.

they are using screenshots of the icons. I think that unless you are using them at a large size, no one is going to give them a second look, and with the time saved you can put together more tutorials!
