December 15, 2006

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 […]

Iconfactory Year In Review

December 16, 2005

Today marks our last day at the assembly line for 2005, as all of the workers will be taking the next two weeks off to enjoy the holidays with friends and family. As we close up shop each year, we take stock of what we were able to bring to you, our loyal base of […]

The Year In Review

January 5, 2004

Well, we’re back from the holiday break today. We’re rested, refreshed and ready to let the creative juices flow once again. Moving forward into 2004 gives us pause to look back on just what the workers managed to accomplish back in 2003. Last year, the workers managed to design and produce 33 all-new icon sets. […]

The Darkest Time of Year

October 16, 2018

For over 20 years, we’ve been celebrating our favorite holiday on the Iconfactory home page. Yes folks, it’s that time of year again: Halloween!

As Jack Frost nips at our noses and music from the Vince Guaraldi Trio floats through the air, we’re preparing to shut down the Factory floor for the holiday season. However, we thought we’d round out 2013 with one last freeware present for you all! Today we’re bringing you iOS 7 Days of Christmas, a […]

An Iconic Anniversary

September 6, 2023

The iMac recently had its 25 year anniversary. In 1998, the Iconfactory was still a toddler. Our first website launched just two years prior, but by the time the iMac appeared, we were on our third iteration.
