Panic and The Iconfactory will be moving our web hosting services in the next few days. As a result, all of the Iconfactory websites will experience 24-48 hours of scheduled downtime. This maintenance will effect users attempting to visit The Iconfactory, Stockicons.com, Frenzic.com and MarbleofDoom.com. We’ll do our best to make this downtime as quick […]

It seems like only yesterday we were celebrating our 10th anniversary and writing our traditional year ending post for 2006.

Since the launch of Marble of Doom back on October 19th, Mac users have been faithfully logging their frustration with our shiny, spinning master.

The cobwebs have come down, the candy bowl has been stripped bare and things are now getting back to normal around the factory floor. We hope you enjoyed our annual tribute to things that go bump in the night. The workers managed to pull out all the stops and cranked out 4 creepy icon sets, […]

We’re flipping the switches and turning off the assembly line until January 3rd so the workers can take their annual holiday break from the pixel grind. As is tradition around here, we’ve gone back and taken a look at all we accomplished here in 2006 and the results surprised even us. Of course the big […]

Welcome children of the night! That’s right, we’re dripping with excitement to announce that our 2006 haunted Halloween makeover has finally arrived!

The month of October means spooky […]

Do you develop software or publish an e-zine? Broadcast a podcast or draw a cartoon about gaming? Do you design fonts or have you seen a design related event or contest on the web? A great tutorial on graphic design or CSS? Some geeky fun? If any of these things (and more) have caught your […]
