Year In Review for 2009
December 23, 2009
We know some people detest year end letters, but around these pixellated parts, it’s a tradition, and who are we to argue with that? 2009 saw a ton of content come down the assembly line including two new iPhone games, the return of Iconfactory related merchandise, and of course lots of desktop goodies. Here are […]
“Something wicked this way comes.”
October 7, 2009
That’s right folks, it’s October again which means we’ve flipped the spooky switches and engaged creepy mode here at the Iconfactory in anticipation of our all-time favorite holiday, Halloween. If you’re new to these parts then you should know we just love costume parties, trick or treating and serving up all kinds of ghostly goodies […]
Finally!
February 23, 2009
Greensboro, North Carolina. Saturday, February 21, 2009. 7:15am. 24 degrees Fahrenheit. Gedeon, Talos, Anthony, Louie and myself arrive at Friendly Center to join a small but fanatical group, including Ian Meyer who had camped out all night, in front of a polished aluminum and glass monolith. Just under three hours later the new employees joined […]
Follow the Factory on Twitter
January 26, 2009
Every one of the Iconfactory’s workers have had Twitter accounts almost since day one. In recent months we created product-specific accounts for both Twitterrific and Frenzic but never one to cover the entire company. Until now. We’re pleased to announce the Iconfactory now has a Twitter account that you can follow to get the latest […]
Full Steam Ahead!
January 12, 2009
Our Christmas trees have been put away, we watched the ball drop, and have safely returned from an exciting trip to Macworld 2009. Although we had a wonderful break, we’re more than ready to get back at it. Our trip to Macworld allowed us to showcase both Twitterrific and Frenzic to the scores of people […]
Year In Review for 2008
December 22, 2008
How time flies when you’re pushing pixels! It seems like only yesterday we were looking back on 2007, and now it’s a year later and once again it’s time to reflect on our accomplishments. The year that was 2008 featured an iconic tribute to a movie legend, important updates to Twitterrific and xScope, and saw […]
We Now Resume Our Regularly Scheduled Broadcast
October 31, 2008
We sincerely hope this year’s Iconfactory Halloween festivities contained a sufficient helping of creepy to satisfy everyone. Despite the shrieking, moaning and howling around the factory floor the workers were able to craft four spooky icon sets to help you express the spirit of the season. Somehow we were also able to sneak in a […]
We’re Still Kickin’
September 3, 2008
Since it’s been over a month since our last update we wanted take a moment to let you know we’re still here and pushing pixels as always. Unfortunately those pixels have been for a major client instead of our usual freeware releases. This, combined with Craig’s voyage into Twitterrific revision land has meant there hasn’t […]
Iconfactory In the Media
July 31, 2008
If you’ve ever wondered just what we do here at the Iconfactory, then we’ve got a treat for you. The Greensboro gang was recently featured by our local Fox affiliate, WGHP for their “Made in North Carolina” series. The goal of the news series is to highlight companies that you may not realize are in […]
Kneel Before Zog!
July 22, 2008
In 2004 David Lanham released his first set of Somatic Icons. Within these icons, there was an unassuming purple monster named Zog. Slowly, this character has crept out of the icons and into larger desktops and prints on David’s personal site. Now we’re pleased to announce that Zog will be taking shape as a collectible […]
