We liked Ben Shanfelder’s OS X application Audio Recorder so much that we had to make an icon for it, since as it ships right now it lacks one (it just shows the generic OS X application icon).
If you would like to use this, then download the icon below, unzip it, and Get Information on the icon file inside. Click on the icon preview and Cmd-C, then Get Information on the Audio Recorder program, click on the default application icon, and press Cmd-V. You should see the new icon replace the default icon.
We used IHeartNewYork’s excellent aqua shape how-to (with a couple of additions) when making this. Thanks!
Hope you enjoy this. It was fun to make, and Audio Recorder is a great small application for recording audio.

Thanks for the nice-looking icon for AR. Much appreciated.
Mmmmm …
Have long used Audio Recorder, and today stumbled across your icon. Looks great … just haven’t had any success marrying it to the application.
Not able to copy and paste in Finder > Get Info > Preview
???
I feel like I am ‘So close and yet so far away’!!
Got it!
Now I am a happy camper!!
I was getting lost in the Finder > Get Info window. I had clicked on the preview tab and was trying to copy the icon there. It is the icon in the top left hand corner of the window.
Thanks!!
quick correct that I ran into.. I kept trying to paste the icon when getting info on the program, and it would change the appearance within finder, but when opening the program it was still the generic icon. Sooo to fix this, you have to
- hold down control- click on the program and select ‘Show Package Contents’.
- go into Contents > MacOS folder
- get info on the file called ‘Audio Recorder’ in there
- paste over the terminal looking icon in the upper left
= presto.. now the icon will show on the dock and application switch menu.
This was for os x 10.5.7 – cheers
Thanks, it worked fine for me. A nice icon for a nice program
