I've wanted to do a kinda OS 9 folder revival for a long time, and playing around with isometric cameras caused my friend to kick me in the bottom to getting one done.
Objects are a lot more work, but I definitely think it also adds a lot more character to the icon and set. It'll also be harder to read glyphs at smaller sizes with the angle.
Really rough, but thought I'd show the kind of direction for the large sizes and few people seemed keen for a peek at other colours. Please excuse messiness of the folders, I've yet to standardise resizing them all and fixing them up yet.
Got a free afternoon here and decided I'd give it a shot too. Didn't really want to copy the OS 9 style so here's my take on what it might look like today.
I'd love to hear your comments and criticism. Thanks guys!

@Elias: I'm definitely doing blue too (I prefer it!), as well as probably the rest of the colours that Lätt came in like manilla and grey.
@Manuel: Not decided yet but I think objects would better match the feel. :3
