Hi Chris,

What do you mean with "in the Finder" and "blank"?

If you open the application package, go to standalone.app/contents/ 
resources. This folder should contain a file Revolution.icns and  
RevolutionDoc.icns. If these icons have a file size equal to 0 or if  
they simply don't exist, just put your own icon file there and give it  
the correct name. Now use one of the methods to "touch" the  
application package and you should see the icon.
