Thanks to Alessandro Gubitosi, who just send me this poster with PICOL icons, which promotes the Ubuntu in Italy and can be used by the rest of the world. It´s great PICOL can help the great and open Ubuntu project with it´s own openness. It would be great to have PICOL as UI icons in Ubuntu

Alessandro is a member of “Gruppo Promozione Ubuntu” (the Italian Ubuntu Marketing Team). He is active in the fields of green marketing, art direction and web development. You can get more information on Alessandro on his website www.gotanotherway.com.

That´s not all Alessandro did with and especially for PICOL. He also mentioned as an aside that he did PICOL generator. THAT´S AWESOME — I LOVE THE INTERNET. He built it overnight! That´s version 1.1beta and he wants to push it forward.

I will keep you updated on the PICOL generator.

By the way this is the first post on this blog matching all categories (Contributor Work, Diagrams, Icons in use, New Icons & [Great] News).

With the last eight at the World Cup I release the soccer icon for the PICOL library.

Here you can download the raw soccer icon.

Here you can download the soccer flag icons of the last eight.

May the best team win.

eöööööööööööö — The  Vuvuzela is definitely the unofficial symbol for the soccer tournament with teams from all over the world, which takes place in South Africa right now. (Am I allowed to say the original name, which is a trademark? I remember many people got sued the last time)
Whatever. I designed a Vuvuzela icon for the PICOL library which again is publish under a Creative Commons license.

Here you can download the icon in various sizes

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.

PICOL-Icons | Pre-release | 16×16 Pixel | PNG | 07-03-2009

UPDATE: Go directly to the download page,
where you´ll find all icons.

Please don´t post a link to this file. Instead you can make a link back to blog.picol.org/downloads/icons or picol.org

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.
