We’ve Opened the Crypt Yet Again

October 5, 2004

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 Attic is alive with the links that will take you to all things spooky on the web. Our News Hell Hound has been pressed into service by throngs of zombies to keep the page up-to-date. Actually, that’s not true, she’s relying on all of you out there to send us your holiday related URLs. So if you spot a set of Halloween icons, scary font, wallpaper or whatever, send it to us and she’s sure to get it posted in a single flap of a bat’s wing.

Let the Buyer Beware

September 30, 2004

We’ve recently become aware of a Macintosh hardware reseller website that is making use of The Iconfactory’s name without permission and listing us as a “Promotional Partner” when we are, in fact, not. We are currently investigating the situation but wanted to make it clear to potential buyers of goods that The Iconfactory does not endorse or support Mac-Discounter.com in any way. We will supply more information on this issue as it becomes available.

Update: Mac-Discounter.com has removed The Iconfactory (and other mac sites) as a promotional partner. We consider the matter closed at this time.

With the Athens Olympic games behind us and winter approaching, Iconfactory artist Talos Tsui thought it was a good time to finish and release his latest set of freeware icons – Salt Lake City 2002. Talos had started this collection during the winter games in Salt Lake, but put the set aside until recently. We’re pleased to be able to bring you the finished icons in Mac, PC and iContainer format. If you are a fan of winter sports or just the Olympics in general, then head on over and download this new release today. Enjoy!
