Icons: Alphabet Icon Set

[silsbee329.livejournal.com]

Preview:



These shouldn't be terribly spoilery, as I've only seen up through the beginning of Season Four so far. ;)



I did one of these for House fandom before, and it was lots of fun, so I put one together for The X-Files. There are notes at the end, indicating episodes and such. If you use any, enjoy! Oh- and feel free to play along/add some if you like. ;)



B: from the episode "Quagmire"
H: from the episode "Humbug"
J: from the episode "Syzygy", in reference to David Duchovny's appearance on "Celebrity Jeopardy". The producers named the school "Grover Cleveland Alexander High School" because Duchovny erroneously added "Alexander" to U.S. President Grover Cleveland's name.
P: from the episode "D.P.O."
Q: from the episode "Quagmire"
R: from the episode "War of the Coprophages" (Scully stands alone after the townsfolk have run out of the supermarket)
W: from the episode "Home", in reference to the background music
Y: a bucket of Chaco Chicken from the episode "Our Town"
Z: from the episode "Unruhe"

I found the majority of these images through Google Image Search, except for G, J, R and Z which I capped or created myself. If you see any images that need crediting, please let me know! Thanks. :)

[silsbee329.livejournal.com]

Your icon is too funny! ;D
And thank you!

[tigress1313.livejournal.com]

ty. I wish I could make icons. I just take and credit.

[maybe-amanda.livejournal.com]

What a cool idea. These are great!

[silsbee329.livejournal.com]

Thanks! It was fun to do. :)

[skypilot-dlm.livejournal.com]

What an awesome idea! Great icons :D

[silsbee329.livejournal.com]

Thank you!! :)

[abby-road87.livejournal.com]

Great idea! :)

[silsbee329.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :) :)

[juniperphoenix]

This is really clever! I like that you used some images that wouldn't normally get made into icons, or that aren't strictly from the show.

[silsbee329.livejournal.com]

Thanks! It was really fun to do. A challenge. :)

[indigo-inferno.livejournal.com]

This is such a cool idea! I feel so tempted to do an alphabete challenge now. Maybe for the West Wing instead of The X-Files.

Sooo cool! :D

[silsbee329.livejournal.com]

Thanks!! DOOO IT! It's lots of fun trying to find things that fit. ;D

[idella]

Cool. I especially like "R."

[silsbee329.livejournal.com]

Thanks!! ;D

[mosinging1986.livejournal.com]

These are amazing, and so original! Will be coming back to take a bunch, with credit.

[silsbee329.livejournal.com]

Thanks very much - glad you like! :)

[coldthermistor.livejournal.com]

Oooh, these are all pretty! :) Might snag a few, and will certainly credit!

[silsbee329.livejournal.com]

Thank you!!! :)

I love these! Look at that "X is for X-File." You put them on a little folder! The L for Lonegunmen is another favorite.

I'm a little slow today so I don't understand the "U." I like the icon anyway.

[amyhit.livejournal.com]

I don't understand the "U."

Technically? *cough* (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=unf) (but I think most people just use it to mean 'ridiculously hot'.)

These are really fun, and I agree with juniperphoenix, it's cool that you used images that wouldn't normally get used. I might have to get a printscreen capture of this so I can use it as a desktop background.

[wendelah1]

LOL. I can't remember what we said back in the day, but definitely not that. A desktop background, very creative!

[silsbee329.livejournal.com]

What amyhit said! :D
Kinda like when Lenny & Squiggy used to bite their palms when they saw Laverne & Shirley. *G*

Oh- and I didn't make the little file folder! Google Image Search gave it to me when I searched for "X-files file folder". ;)

Anyway, glad you like! xx

[silsbee329.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that! ;D
And also as a grunty "YOU ARE HOT" sound. It's all good when it comes to them. *g*

I'm glad you like them. :) And I do think they work best as a set, so the background idea is a great one. Or a banner would work nice (13 on the top/13 on the bottom...). Hmm...

[write-out.livejournal.com]

I love these! So clever; I can't decide which one I like best- too many to choose from. Maybe W because that episode ruined that song for me in the best, creepy way.

[silsbee329.livejournal.com]

Hahaha! Yes, I know! Creepiest episode ever (well, up to season four anyway... *g*).

Anyway, I'm glad you liked them! Thanks! :)

[write-out.livejournal.com]

Well, I won't spoil anything for future episodes, but I will say Home was the only to be banned from reruns. What do you think of the show so far? What made you decide to watch it?

into_the_woods is a rewatch group and we just finished season 3. It's pretty quiet right now, but if you want to revisit season 4, you should check it out.

[silsbee329.livejournal.com]

I still can't believe they banned it from re-runs. I didn't think it was that bad. Hmmm... ;p

I really enjoy the show so far. I like the Monster-of-the-Week episodes far more than the mythology ones; but I like to watch the two of them working together no matter what. And I blame Netflix Instant Streaming for getting me into it! I'd never seen the show before (and I was in my teens/early 20s when it first aired), so I was curious. I got hooked almost right away. What got you into it?

into_the_woods sounds nifty. I could use something to keep me on track (I get distracted easily! *g*), and I love to watch with others. Thanks for pointing it out. :)

[write-out.livejournal.com]

I was 20 when it first aired, just starting my junior year in college, and I watched it from the beginning. I still remember watching the pilot and being so happy that I found a show I thought I could love. I think I was still smarting from the end of Twin Peaks the year before. ;) Sure, some parts of the show are super dated now, but overall I think it's held up so well and I love it even more than I did back then. Season 5 is a good one- I think you'll really like what's coming up!

20...wow. Now I feel old.

[silsbee329.livejournal.com]

I just looked it up -- I was 22 when it started!! I'm old. *G* And I do look forward to what's coming!

I have never seen Twin Peaks either... *shifty eyes*

[write-out.livejournal.com]

That's on Netflix streaming too, hint hint. LOVE IT. David Duchovny has an interesting role in it, but Kyle McLachlan as Agent Cooper is pretty much perfect. It's been on my personal rewatch list for a while.

[silsbee329.livejournal.com]

You mustn't tempt me - I am a tv addict. ;D
(But now I'm worried that I would love it and I'm missing out. Dang. I'll add it to my queue. For later...)

[write-out.livejournal.com]

It's hilarious, freaky, sad and 100% quirky. Certain scenes scare me more than anything in the X-Files ever did.

Okay, okay, I'll stop spamming you now. :)

[silsbee329.livejournal.com]

Certain scenes scare me more than anything in the X-Files ever did.
Really?!? Wow!

It was lovely to meet you. (I have to get in the last word. It's a 'thing'. *g*)

[omg-wtf-yeah.livejournal.com]

These are hilarious! Wonderful (wonderful)! ;);)

[silsbee329.livejournal.com]

;D (Creeeeeepy!!)
They were fun to make! Glad you like 'em. :D

[airolf.livejournal.com]

Love it. Saving to memories! (almost makes me want to buy a Paid Account and use all 26 spots!)

[silsbee329.livejournal.com]

Thanks!! :)
They do kind of work best as a set. I wish I'd thought to make a banner or something. I am happy you like them. :):)

[airolf.livejournal.com]

I wish I'd thought to make a banner or something.

it'd never too late!

[silsbee329.livejournal.com]

Now you've got me thinkin' about it... ;)

[sharo-8760.livejournal.com]

These are brilliant & hilarious. Will take some and will credit! :D

[silsbee329.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :) :)
