Introducing Nova
We’re very happy to
introduce our latest free set of icons.
The Nova family of icons is to be
an ever expanding set of 3D icons. As the set
grows we will keep you updated on the blog.
Currently the set includes a metal trash can,
pencil, top hat and magic top hat, column, beaker
and bomb (slightly different from our previous free
bomb icon).
Check them out and be sure to
let us know what you think.
Small is good
We've just added a new set of stock icons. Our latest package, titled
Petite, consists os 135 miniature
icons.
Even though they’re small they pack a lot of punch.
The three colored sets (45 icons each) measure 16 x
16 px. They come in PNG (with transparent
backgrounds), ICNS, ICO and Macintosh Folder
formats.
These small wonders are great for web design,
RapidWeaver themes, applications and more
This set of icons come at a small price:
$5.95.
Dragoman icon
Dare to be Creative,
the makers of iArchiver and Renamer 4 Mac, released their
latest application, Dragoman.
Since we worked with them previously on their
iArchiver and Renamer 4 Mac app icons they
approached us to make an icon for Dragoman. Their
idea of a camel as the icon was based upon the name
of the application...
A dragoman is an interpreter and guide in the Near East; in the Ottoman Empire in the 18th and 19th centuries a translator of European languages for the Turkish and Arab authorities and most dragomans were Greek (many reached high positions in the government)
Dragoman is a utility application that batch converts images, photos, PDFs, music and archive files using a graphical drag and drop interface. It converts popular image file formats including JPEG, PDF, TIFF and PNG, as well as widespread music and archive file formats.
Dragoman offers a lightweight drag and drop interface where users drag the files they want to convert into the application, pick a new format and drag the converted files back out again. The interface was kept lean to make it quicker and easier for users to work together with Finder when converting a large number of files. To allow users to work seamlessly with Dragoman right from the start, the interface was designed to blend closely and unobtrusively into the Mac environment.
You should definitely drop by their site and
grab your trial version. It truly is quite
simple to use. And the interface couldn’t be
more simple.

Collage 2 plug-in icon
About Collage 2
Collage builds great looking thumbnails from your images, styles them all with slick graphical effects, and links them to other content on your site. With Collage you can add smooth Javascript animations like lightbox effects, slideshows, or a pop-up hovering info box. And you don't have to be an computer guru to do it. Just drag in a few images, select a style, and publish.
The vision
The idea came directly from YourHead’s very own Isaiah. The thought of Polaroids and a Gluestic that Isaiah had pictured immediately provoked images of collages and assemblage. We developed his idea into a fullfledged icon. Have a look:
The new plug-in went
into public beta testing today. Be sure to go check
it out. We also created some of the built-in
Collage Styles through our sister site, elixir graphics.

It's the bomb
Up until now I have
used PhotoShop and Illustrator in designing all of
my graphics for the web and print. Whether the
projects be icons or websites or ads I've toiled
away in these two apps for over 10 years.
Recently I took an interest in learning and using
Cinema 4D to model icons in 3D.
I've already begun to dive into the application and
so far I am enjoying it a lot. I find it pretty
intuitive so far and see a wealth of potential.
As I learn Cinema 4D I will have some freebies to
post — starting today.
Here's my first Cinema 4D designed freebie.
I've included sizes 512 x 512 down through 16 x 16
in PNG, TIFF, ICNS, ICO and Mac Folder.
Click download above and enjoy!
Webify it
Mudbug Software came to
us when they were looking for an icon for their
first application — Webify. Their image editing
app allows you to prepare your images for the
web including the ability to make some minor
adjustments and add image effects.
Webify allows you to:
• Increase/decrease Exposure
• Increase/decrease Saturation
• Add contrast
• Increase/decrease Brightness
• Convert to sepia tone or black and white
• Blur images and more.

Renamer 4 Mac
We recently finished up
a custom app. icon for the fine folks at Dare to be
Creative. The icon is for their application titled
Renamer 4 Mac.
Renamer 4 Mac is a great little utility for batch
renaming, and more. Here's a quick snippet from
their site:
Batch rename large numbers of files in seconds with just a drag, a drop, and a click.
Preview
Live preview gives instant feedback on new filenames for catching errors and fine-tuning results.
And more
Rename with simple text search or with flexible regular expressions. Convert upper and lower case. Number files.

Pack it up, pack it in
We recently completed an application icon for the
folks over at iArchiver. The application
handles archived files; both creating and
extracting.
iArchiver allows you to pack, extract, and convert
archives. They approached us with the idea of a
rucksack as a metaphor for archive compression and
decompression, or packing and unpacking, and we
loved it.
Here's a snippet from their site to give you a
little more information about the app:
You need to send large files to a customer? You want to distribute your files as DMGs? Create DMG, Zip, 7-zip and many other formats quickly and easily with iArchiver.
Extract
You can't open that email attachment? No problem, iArchiver opens Zip, DMG, RAR, StuffIt (.sit), HQX and many more common and uncommon formats.
Convert
Your boss just received a RAR file that he can't open and needs your help? Make your boss happy by converting RAR and many other formats to ZIP with iArchiver.
Stop by the iArchiver site to learn more about it. It is a great solution for handling the plethora of archive formats floating around on the internet, and is simple to use, too.

Your turn to show off
We're always interested in seeing how our stuff is being used, whether it be one of our freebies or a full-blown package.
Send us a link to your site, or a screen grab of your application or presentation. We're going to eventually compile many of these screen grabs and such onto a page, and would love to feature your works and link back to you.
Layered Locker
Pop by the Lockers page and grab yours for a mere $2. The link for the layered locker is at the bottom of the page.
See just how easy it is to add your own gear to the locker.
Shiny happy lockers
If there is enough interest I will create a layered PSD file where you can add your own items into this shiny, happy, red locker too. Sort of like our Build Your Own Box set.
Also don't forget to check out all of the other icons and freebies as well.
It's a sign
Since our Build your Own Box has been such a huge hit, we've also included a layered PSD PhotoShop file in this package which allows you to make your own, custom sign as well.
The best part is that this set is a mere $12. Be sure to check it out! And don't forget to also take a peek at some of our other icons and freebies.
Oh, and I finally got a chance to clean up and style the icons page. So you'll probably notice a much cleaner, classier look.
