Up-to-date mail stamp icon for Canada
Hawk Wings reader Jesse Schooff
emails to send in an updated Canada Mail stamp icon for Mail.app.
He writes:
After being teased one too many times about the “dated” 45-cent Canadian stamp, I’ve made an updated version. A bit of trivia: Canada Post’s current-run stamps have no defined value, so you can keep using them even if the price of postage goes up. Hopefully that will please the sticklers! It still bears the postmark from Markham, Ontario, Apple Canada’s HQ.
It’s a PNG file, which you can download from Hawk Wings. I had to run it through img2icns
before it would do its thing.
I’ve added it to the Hawk Wings list of Alternative Mail Stamp Icons.
To round off this post, I’m trying to think of something witty to say about Mounties, beaver tails, lacrosse and the odd concentration of excellent Mac apps that come from Canada, but inspiration fails me.
If you are feeling patriotic, but not Canadian, check out this excellent collection of 30 national flag mail stamp icons
on deviantART.

Hi Tim,
I’ve read a lot of your posts on customising the Mail.app icon. Right now, a wonderful photo stamp of the Brussels Atomiums sits there in my dock.
Anyway, I don’t quite remember if you presented FastIcns already - it’s a nice litte programm (freeware) to turn images into icons and stick them right on an app, file or folder. Here is the link: http://projects.digitalwaters.net/index.php?q=fasticns
