I'm looking for a more complete set of channel icons for NevoStudio Pro. The set it comes with is probably only about 60-70% complete. I found a great set of icons on RemoteShoppe's website, which I downloaded, but they're all square with white backgrounds, and don't fit/look good overlayed on smaller/colored buttons that I prefer to use.

Can anyone point me to a more recent set of channel logos? Thanks in advance.

You can get Logos from here.

You can use CoPolit from Guifx to create Buttons with Logos. Guifx also have Logos.

OR

You can use these Harmony Buttons.


Cheers

I highly recommend Guifx; they produce consistently excellent graphics.

EDIT: Just to clarify, as others have mentioned using CoPilot to make the button + logo. I find the logos I like and just put them on invisible buttons.

+1 for CoPilot. Great piece of software.

Thanks everyone!

I grabbed a copy of CoPilot and have been using it - it is, indeed, very useful. However, I haven't been able to figure out how to create a set of channel icons with transparent backgrounds (like the ones that come with NSP3.0). So I've resorted to using CoPilot to create a set of actual buttons with the channel icons. That will get the job done for now, but if anyone can point me in the right direction to create icons like those that come with NSP, I'd appreciate it.

I'd like to be able to maintain a full set of channel icons that can simply be put onto an NSP button, rather than having to create a complete set of channel buttons each time I want some of a different style.

You can not do that with Copilot. The only way I know how to do it is to use a image editor like Photoshop or Gimp (free) etc. It can be lot of work to do but worth it. There are plenty of tutorials on You Tube but alot do it the hard way.

Thanks once again, Jasonvp - huge help. Have starting using both Gimp and Copilot to get what I need, and they both work very well.
