The Breakroom

Welcome one and all as we celebrate our 10th anniversary with the launch of all-new versions of Iconfactory.com and Stockicons.com. Over 2 years in design and development, the new sites have been rebuilt from the ground up using Ruby on Rails and are now hosted on Apple’s xServe platform. These two sites boast many new […]

We came across a nice posting from a fellow iconist today that we thought we would share with our visitors. Seems as though Jamie and others are going through Pixelpalooza withdrawal and long for the heady days of pixelated madness that each winter brought here at the factory. Starting in 1997, The Iconfactory sponsored a […]

Happy Holidays from All of Us!

And even though our offices are closed until January 3rd, we will still be responding to technical support and stock icons requests via email. We’ll do our best to respond to your needs in a […]

You may recall that updates to The Iconfactory were temporarily frozen last month due to some server maintenance we were doing. Well, for all those geeks out there, we’re proud to announce just what was going on… we moved our website, email and database servers from hosting at Datareturn in Houston TX, to the loving […]

We’re Back Baby!

Iconfactory Updates On Hiatus

November 12, 2004

Due to some extensive internal house keeping we’ll be doing, site updates for The Iconfactory are being suspended from now until December. This means there won’t be new icon releases, news item updates or additions / edits to the DeskBase until we return. Although the website won’t be updated, you can still purchase our software, […]

Welcome to our annual Halloween make over! Every year we let the vampires and undead out of their tombs and they somehow manage to take over the factory. We hope you enjoy the spooky look and feel and make The Iconfactory your number one stop for Halloween GUI goodies. Your favorite dank and dark Web’s […]

Authorize.net Under Attack

September 20, 2004

Our credit card payment processing service, Authorize.net, is currently experiencing a denial of service attack (DDOS). If you place an order for one of our products and get a “-1 error” you should wait awhile and try again. Alternatively, you can use PayPal to place your order. Thanks for your patience!

End of Week Grab Bag

June 18, 2004

As we head into the weekend here at the factory, we wanted to post a quick note to let everyone know to keep your eyes out for several new factory animations that will be popping up in the weeks ahead. The pixel gnomes have been working overtime to send these down the assembly line and […]

History in the Making

June 10, 2004

If you pop over to the Warehouse, you’ll see an interesting statistic on display – 199 icon sets in inventory. Back in June of 2000, The Iconfactory released its 100th icon set and now, four years later we’ve reached another milestone. Another 100 sets of free icons have been released, and to celebrate we’re working […]
