Some more icons in the library

Clock Mini IconMay 25th, 2009

I started to add some more icons to the PICOL Icon Library. Feel free to have a look. I added some more invisible features on the side. The automatically generated ZIP-Files now generate the icon name for the file name. I´m still having some problems with the ZIP files and the standard unzipping programm on Macs.
I´m planing some more features, but since I´m no programmer and therefore very slow in programming you have to wait a while.
Have fun downloading!

Pre-Release: PICOL Icons 16 Pixel

Clock Mini IconMarch 7th, 2009

The 16×16 pixel mini-icons from PICOL are ready now. It was a load of work, but I think it was worth the work. The most complicated version of the icons is done with this one. I hope you´ll like them.
Please drop me a short line, including a link, if you use them. I´m very interested in how the icons will look in your websites or apps.
Next I´ll start with the vector files in EPS format and will also make SVG versions after that.

Pre-release: PICOL-Icons

Clock Mini IconJanuary 19th, 2009

Finally I finished all PICOL-Icons in 32×32 Pixel. It took quite a long time, because of the total number of 517 icons. All icons had to be cleaned up, due to anti-aliasing problems, that occured at the conversion from vector to pixel files. Thanks to Barbara, who helped me cleaning the icons.
After I´ve finished some stuff I´ve to do right now, I´ll continue with the 16×16 Pixel version of the icons.

And thanks to all the people, who posted “History of the Internet” on their blogs. I was really surprised and happy about, how fast the movie spread.

What the heck is a floppy disk?

“It´s a storage medium, where people saved files on.”
Maybe people talk like this in a few years. The floppy disk isn´t used anymore.
But its shape is still used to symbolize the procedure of saving files.

I thought this would be an easy icon to design, but it wasn´t and still isn´t.
Now I´ve made two alternatives. So, this is an Request for Comment.
I looking forward for your opinions.

Just one thing. The first icon is also used for download. But in fact downloading and saving is quite the same process.
