Here are some things to try. Much of the frustration revolves around OS 
X's reluctance to update its icon info in the Finder.

Build the standalone, assigning your own icons. After the build, if the 
icons don't appear, zip the file. Move the zip file to another folder. 
Unzip it into the new folder. See if it displays. This method usually 
causes the Finder to update its icon information.

If that doesn't work, right-click (control-click) the app and choose 
"Show package contents". Open Contents/Resources and then open one of 
the icon files in an icon editor such as the one provided by Apple's 
developer tools, or a shareware app such as Iconographer. If you see 
Rev's default icons, paste your own artwork into each icon's space, 
replacing the Revolution icons. Save the icon file. Close the icon 
editor. The new icons may not display right away, so do the zip trick again.
