IconExtractor
From Applepedia
IconExtractor is a small AppleScript droplet made for the editors of this wiki by kalleboo. It requires that GraphicConverter be installed.

Usage
- Make sure GraphicConverter is installed
- Drag one or more application icons onto the IconExtractor icon
- Wait
- IconExtractor should now have extracted the icon from the app and saved it on the Desktop as a png
- Upload to Applepedia, or wherever

Limitations
IconExtractor works
- only with with application packages (i.e. not old-style Carbon apps)
- only with application packages that have an Info.plist (this is pretty much all apps, except for Internet Explorer)
When it hits one of these applications, it will show a dialog box. Click OK to continue (it will not abort in case you're dropped more than one icon on it)

Source code
Just open it with the Script Editor to see the source, it's pretty messy. I made it work, and after that I don't really care ;)
