The Breakroom

The Iconfactory’s parade of holiday themed icons continues with this Tuesday’s release of Frosty the Snowman courtesy of Mindy. This new freeware collection is based on the beloved characters from the classic Rankin and Bass Christmas cartoon and will bring fond memories of childhood rushing back to your desktop. Hurry on over and download Frosty as either Macintosh, or Windows icons, or as a cool Pixadex iContainer. Better get moving ‘cause the temperature is on the rise, and you know that that means for our favorite snowman! Enjoy!

This week, The Iconfactory celebrates the 20th anniversary of the classic holiday movie A Christmas Story with an icon set by the same name. Artist Anthony Piraino has rendered several of the objects from the movie and wrapped them up for your desktop. So run on over and join in Ralphie’s pursuit of a Red Ryder 200 Shot Range Model Air Rifle.

This week’s icon release gets dark and gritty. Private Eye, Act 1 is Iconfactory artist Kate England’s first installment of an icon mystery in three acts. Drawing inspiration from the hard-boiled school of crime fiction, Private Eye, Act 1 delves into a world of greed, brutality and treachery. Head on over and watch as our hero begins unravelling the mystery. Be sure to check out Marmalade Moon for a matching desktop to totally immerse yourself in the intrigue!

This Tuesday’s release from Iconfactory artist, Talos Tsui is based on the popular Hong Kong comic book – Storm Riders. This clever and cute set of icons is a graphic translation of chess set figures and depicts the major characters from the series. If you love anime, manga or just cool character design, be sure to hop over and download Storm Riders as either standard Mac or Win icons as well as a handy, searchable Pixadex iContainer. And don’t forget to drop us a line and let us know what you think of this and other sets we’ve recently released. We don’t live in a vacuum ya know! Thanks all!

We are happy to finally present a long-awaited and highly requested CandyBar collection. TiSystem by Iconfactory artist Corey Marion is an extension of one our earliest Mac OS X icon sets created more than two years ago when the Aqua UI was new to us all. This release is available in a handy CandyBar iContainer and is compatible with Jaguar and Panther and looks especially nice in the new metal Finder.

And for you serious icon junkies (for whom new icons every Tuesday just isn’t enough) we proudly introduce QuickPix. QuickPix is a tiny little corner of the Factory where we will post those random sets of pixels that we find when we clean up the factory floor. Keep checking back, you never know what you might find! And get them while you can, supplies are limited!
