Introducing the face of Hyperspaces

I’d like to introduce everyone to the greatest icon to ever grace a screen:

The Hyperspaces Icon

This gorgeous piece of design was put together by Sebastiaan De With of Cocoia​.com and Icon​De​signer​.net fame. He was an absolute pleasure to work with, and I’ve heard nothing but praise for him from my peers. He’s also got a blog post up his sleeve about the process we went through together to end up with what you see above.

Oh, and the promo site for Hyperspaces is up: http://​hyper​space​sapp​.com/

Fyi: the hyper­spaces link sends me back to ton​yarnold​.com. The text is right if copied and pasted, but link needs correction.

In hap­pier news, I eagerly await the chance to play with this beau­ti­ful new app.

Tony,

I’m impressed with the fine icon design. Also the Hyper­spaces web­site looks pretty damn good too! Antic­i­pa­tion is grow­ing still ;-) Good luck and God speed with the com­ple­tion of your public-​beta.

Very impres­sive and the web site looks ter­rific too… If this is any indi­ca­tion of what Hyper­spaces could be made of, it will be a killer app! Can’t wait to try out the beta… Tony, you are killing us in anticipation :)

Btw, I’m still using VirtueDesk­tops on 10.5.3 and it still rocks!

Hi Tony,

this is an absolute fan­tas­tic icon, Sebas­ti­aan did an awe­some job on this one.

I can’t wait to get my hands on Hyper­spaces. Do you have any clue when we can expect to be part of the beta-​testing?

Greet­ings

Any idea when we can expect a pub­lic beta yet?

Hi Tony,

Look­ing for­ward to explor­ing this lat­est project of yours. I very much enjoyed VirtueDesktops.

One ques­tion I have is whether hyper­spaces will free us from the absurd key­stroke bind­ing restric­tions Apple puts us through! I’ve been using this hack for spaces, using Fast­Scripts to run the stan­dard bind­ings in a script which runs under a new set of bind­ings, but the delays are unsatisfactory.

The free­dom you pro­vided us with in Virtue made for very effi­cient use, which seems to be one of the prac­ti­cal pur­poses of vir­tual desk­top managers
