The Breakroom
Presenting Max Rudberg
July 20, 2004
We’re pleased to announce that Mac theme and GUI artist, Max Rudberg, has completed his very first OS X icon set. Some of you may know Max from the accomplished theme work he’s done for the platform. What you may not know is that Max has been working as an intern in the Iconfactory / Marmalade Moon office in Stockholm, Sweden for several months.
One of his first assignments was an icon set of course, and this week’s “New Icon Tuesday” release of Play Time over at Max Themes is the result. We hope you will support the efforts of this fledgling icon artist and download his work and if you enjoy it, write to him and let him know. Its takes a great deal of talent and patience to pull off a set so successfully on your first time out, and from all of us here at the factory, we’d like to say “Well done Max!”. Enjoy.

Don’t waste any time, head on over and download Summertime Snacks for either Mac or Win or as a handy Pixadex iContainer. Now pass the ketchup please!
Stack Those Raw Pixels Over There
July 7, 2004
Just a quick note to let everyone know that we will be shutting the factory down tomorrow as we move our pixel-pushers over to the brand new factory floor. If all goes well we will restart the assembly line over the weekend just in time to produce our latest icon set for next Tuesday’s release. Thanks for your patience while we upgrade our facilities.
Kudos to Panic!
June 30, 2004
The word out of WWDC this morning is that our good friends over at Panic have picked up two prestigious Apple Design Awards for their ground-breaking work on Unison. The Usenet news reader application won Runner-Up for Best Mac OS X Product as well as 1st place for Best Mac OS X Experience. While we’d like to think we contributed a teeny, tiny bit to Unison’s “Mac OS X Experience”, of course its the talented team of dedicated programmers and designers at Panic that cranks out one award winning piece of software after another. So from all of us here at The Iconfactory, well done guys!

End of Week Grab Bag

Also, David Lanham has produced a soothing desktop picture to accompany his recent Somatic System replacement set of icons. Be sure to surf on over to his site and check it out, it will give you warm, fuzzy feelings all over. Lastly, thanks to everyone who has taken the time to write with your positive comments regarding the release of the IF 200th Set. Its gratifying to know that our efforts to bring you freeware icons are so appreciated, thank you!
