While the majority of our visitors see the freeware and software releases we publish, fewer are aware of the work we do for our paying clients. We’re pleased two new entries have been added to our design portfolio today.
The first is the user interface and icon design done for the award-winning board game turned iPhone phenomenon, Carcassonne. Recently released, Carcassonne by TheCodingMonkeys, has received rave reviews by users all around the globe. The Iconfactory worked closely with the team at TheCodingMonkeys to design a richly detailed and enjoyable gaming experience that players love.
Second comes the whimsical iconography the Iconfactory did for Digital Arch’s new development software, Briefs. Briefs is an elegant solution to the problem of mocking up iPhone and iPod interfaces, which is given a distinctly humorous slant thanks to its memorable application icons.
We hope you enjoy these sneak peeks as you browse the Iconfactory’s design section. If your company is in need of custom design work, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

When Twitter recently announced they were purchasing Atebits’ popular Twitter application, Tweetie, many critics wrote off all 3rd party apps, including Twitterrific. Well, we’re here to say that not only is Twitterrific alive and kicking, but it’s being actively developed with love by the Iconfactory. There are some exciting changes coming to the ‘Little Blue Bird that Could’ and we wanted to give you a wing up.
Twitterrific fans have waited patiently and watched as we released version 1.0 of the software for the iPad as well as subsequent 1.0.1 and 1.1 updates. Although the surprise announcement of the iPad put our iPhone and Mac plans on temporary hold, the diversion turned out to be well worth it. Twitterrific for iPad has been hailed as the best version of the application since its original launch. The app is simple, easy to use and covers all the bases when it comes to Twitter functionality. Developing for the iPad with its short deadline, forced us to take a hard look at our design decisions and streamline the app for the better.
The result is a code base that we’re using to update Twitterrific for iPhone to version 3.0 and then for 4.0 for the Macintosh. Unifying the various versions will shorten development cycles, but it also means significant changes to the Twitterrific users know and love. There’s so much to cover in fact, that we’ve broken the discussion out onto three of the Iconfactory’s personal blogs.
We realize that development of Twitterrific hasn’t always moved as quickly as our users would have liked. Until last October, our programming resources were limited to Craig’s giant, but single pair of hands. Thankfully, our talented new programmer, Sean Heber, has given Craig the help he needed. This, combined with the support of our users and their desire to see Twitterrific not crash and burn, but rather soar high and far, have given new life to our development efforts. Watch for our all-new version of Twitterrific for iPhone, and then after that the long-awaited Twitterrific for Mac 4.0. Rest assured we’re working hard to get them both into your hands as soon as possible. Thanks everyone!
