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. […]

Pretty good for a […]

This week’s freeware icon release is a sort of visual experiment from Iconfactory artist, Talos Tsui.
