Axialis IconWorkshop is the best icon editor software we ever tried. Axialis IconWorkshop's interface looks very professional and beautiful. Although we use it to edit a small 32*32 icon, it feels like we are editing a big picture in Adobe Photoshop. Beside the impressive interface, the functions are also great. Axialis IconWorkshop is the only icon tool to support creation, reading and writing of Windows XP, Vista (ICO, ICL) and Macintosh (ICNS, RSC, BIN) icons. Axialis IconWorkshop supports Windows Icons up to 256x256 with alpha channel (smooth transparency) plus PNG compression and Macintosh icons up to OSX v10.4 (Tiger).
Axialis IconWorkshop has many build-in objects like background images, misc shapes and symbols etc. More objects can be downloaded from the company's website. You can mix some objects to easily create a new icon.

• if possible, try to get some fomuas singers to promote your production first. look at how Sunday, Town, SSB, U2 got their fame, and look how Rock, Classic, and other small productions. i know you may want to establish yourself from the scratch, but you have to please the market too. hope this makes sense
