Hammer HD Shortcut Icon - Out with the pixelated, in with the HD

Original found here https://spamcan0.deviantart.com/art/Valve-s-Hammer-Editor-Logo-390684131
I just cropped, resized them, and converted them to .ico
The zip file also contains .png versions

Both colors and 2 sizes of each are contained within one .ico file.
To install, simply right click your hammer shortcut and go to properties, then under the Shortcut tab, go to change icon. Browse to the .ico's location and select it. Now you can choose the color and size. If you use small icon sizes, the unpixelated ones will work, and if you use larger icon sizes, the pixelated ones will work better. Just experiment and see which one looks best.

The reason they look pixelated is because they are being resized by windows and alias. The other ones were resized separately to make the anti-alias better.

Looks nice. Does this work on start menu shortcuts? (Not at home so I can't try it)

Yeah. Just right click the start menu shortcut and click open file location. From the folder that opens you're shown a normal shortcut that you can change. The start menu shortcut should then update.

If this download's a bunch of user "HD" Hammer icons, I have my own I use if you don't mind me sharing. It's an older release of Slartibarty's improved Hammer that included this Windows 10 style icon. I saved it before he removed it and edited in a logo for different Source games (because I have a bunch on my taskbar). You can include it in your download if you want, may as well have these things in one place.
