Where’s the love? Adobe has all sorts of icons on that Wheel-o-icons of theirs. There’s even icons on there that I’ve never seen anywhere else. So what about good’ol Actionscript, eh? Really, where’s the love? :-)
Since there isn’t an Actionscript icon I made one. That’s one of the things that I love about the new icon family: They’re so plain I can actually design one from scratch. If Adobe were still doing icon/logos like the pre-CS3 days I’d be screwed.

I’m using the Andalé Mono font because that’s my mono-spaced font of choice. I picked the color gradient to be sort of like an overlay between the Flex-gray and Flash-red.
Not sure if I like the “3″ up there or not. What do you think?
Addendum: I added a link to the PSD so that people could use it if they wanted to. Help yourself. I do hearby decree that anyone and everyone is free to use the above icon in any way they see fit without attribution. Set the pixels free. That’s my motto.
very nice, congradulations =)
Nice look. The three might be better inside the brackets and not superscripted, but you may not have room for that.
@Paul, yeah, I messed around with variations on the “3″ and wasn’t really happy with any of them. There’s the PSD there. Have a try yourself.
Nooo, it’s much easier to critique someone else’s work! .
Seriously, I like the color and even like the idea. I have no talent for art, I can manipulate well, but don’t ask me to design.
That is seriously cool and even elegant. Send it to Adobe.

@Paul, I’m with you. Ask me to make a design that looks like it comes from a control panel on a Star Trek spaceship and I’m your man. Anything else and it can get ugly real quick. :-)
@girlGeek, Thanks for the compliment. And I’m pretty sure a few people from Adobe saw it.
Totally, shouts out to Adobe, fists in the AIR* “where’s the iconage love for AS3?, must we mere mortal coders attempt to tribute with our modicum of font and design talent?”
Anyway I like it.
Indeed, how come Adobe didn't come up with a logo. I mean AS is used for Flex, Flash and AIR. I'd say that's a pretty important piece of technology there. It should deserve a logo.
Anyway, nice looking logo you have there :). Would it be ok if I would use it in my website / blog ? pliiiizzzz :D
@neqush, use it all you want.
Thanks, polygeek. I just thought I should ask before using. Thanks again.
Can I echo negush and use your AS3 icon in an opensource project ? Pleeasseee? (http://openpyro.org)
@arpit, I added an addendum to this post just for you. :)
These past few days have seen the FPD community up in arms over the frakkers over at sys-con for generally stealing other peoples work. Glad to see that so many in our community are concerned about copy-right and doing the right thing.
Got a link on the Sys-con issue? Would love to read about it.

@aldervaz, rock on! I love it. I used Google tranlator to read your post. I don't plan on getting any tattoos but if I did that's what I'd get.
