Wired.com readers weren’t kidding when they complained that they didn’t like Apple’s new iTunes icon. We received over 100 submissions for our “Redesign Apple’s Ugly iTunes Icon” contest, with a ton of impressive mockups.

We also asked readers to vote for their top picks, and the crowd favorite comes from Ian Houser, whose icon “iTunes Digital Redux” received nearly 1,200 votes. His icon, featured above, incorporates a waveform: ”since the reasoning behind the new icon was that iTunes

is powering the digital revolution, and CD’s aren’t part of that anymore,” he explains. Congrats, Ian! You’re getting a new iPod Shuffle.

Want to replace your ugly iTunes icon with Ian’s beautiful creation? Unzip the .zip file containing Ian’s icon and follow these steps:

Remove iTunes from Dock.
Right click the iTunes software and select “get package contents” from submenu.
Open (contents > Resources) folder and copy the new iTunes.ico file into the folder. (Back up the old one if you might want to revert to it.)
Add iTunes shortcut back to your dock.

Many of you designed some great stuff, and we’re featuring 15 other icons that received the most votes, along with some of our personal favorites. Enjoy, and thanks to everyone who participated and voted.
