Old Mac CDs #2 Gaiden: HyperGlot ICON Resources

This is another followup to the The Macintosh Demo Applications CD Version 1.1 post. It’s the last one, and it’ll be really quick, I promise.

One of the demos, or demo groups, rather, was for HyperGlot Software Company, who made several language-learning applications. I peeked at the ICON resources for the general HyperGlot demo; the demo was written with HyperCard, so these ICONs are used as small images for buttons, like the icon for a pause button. And these images are, well, let’s go with “precious.”

It would take far too much space and time to explain why each and every one of these icons is a work of art, and really their fabulousness speaks for itself, so I’m going to leave the commentary track to the reader. If you pinned me down and forced me to choose my absolute favorites, they would be 9539, 10191, 11555, 19141, 21021, 23357, and 26905. But they are all equally masterpieces.
