Michael's Modified TWC Icons
« on: March 16, 2008, 09:17:04 PM »
In addition to Tyler's modified Icons, I've happened to create over a dozen modified icons myself by using Photoshop. Many of the icons were seen on the WeatherStar XL, IntelliStar, and the National TWC Feed and some haven't been in any of the sets. Some of y'all may have already got them, but if not, here they are.

All icons are original property of The Weather Channel Networks and TWCi (The Weather Channel Interactive). However, some of the modified icons are properties of their creator Michael Raymond. They can be used freely, however, it is asked that you do not redistribute them. Thanks for your cooperation.

1998-2006:

Rain and Fog


Scattered Rain/Rain Squalls (Day) (Slightly different from scattered showers)


Scattered Rain/Rain Squalls (Night)


Scattered Strong T-Storms (Night)


ThunderSnow


Wintry Mix with Thunder (I know there was already one created, but I like my own version better.)

_________________________________________________

2006-Present:

AM Fog, PM Sun (Tyler's is much better)


Fog Developing


Freezing Rain and Sleet


Freezing Rain and Snow


Ice and Snow Pellets


Light Wintry Mix


Rain & Fog


Sleet & Snow

Oh, and Tyler; if you want to put your own modification spin to any of the icons here, you're more than welcome.

Not yet, though I can try and make one for the current set. It may take a few days though, but hang in there

As requested, the Variably Cloudy icons. Forgetting how they looked like when they were still in the XL system, I just went ahead and winged it. They aren't the best ones, but here goes:

And just for the heck of it, I've created a "Variably Cloudy" icon for the current set.

You're quite welcome.

I'll probably create a better version of the Variably Cloudy XL Icons in a week or 2. Otherwise Me, Tyler, and Al have covered pretty much everything...and then some.

Unless....I can create Severe Weather Alerts using the icons.

I keep forgetting I can extract the cloud from a snow icon to create the variably cloudy icon. How can I be so stupid? :wall:

Anyways, just this morning, I've done a better version of the Variably Cloudy icons which replaced the earlier version. See the 10th post in this thread.
