I’m honoured to present my third ‘Daily Deviation’ award on the biggest digital art site on the internet, deviantART. My replacement icon for Wireshark has gotten this beauty and I didn’t even notice until I had a gazillion messages and referrals to my website. Thanks for the kind words and downloads, everyone! If you want to download it, go to Icon Designer.

Link to the deviation in question…

I haven’t been very verbal lately and I couldn’t because I have had some life-changing moments that really need some thought. Perhaps I’ll divulge or make a long post about it a bit later on but at the moment, I’m really having some questions with utmost relevance about my future, my life in general, and well, what you are presented with here, my company, my idea, my ambitions. As I have said before, July will turn out an exciting month, but I can assure you it’ll be more of a rollercoaster to me and even more of a complete astonishment to you (or perhaps not, I just hope so). So, more updates soon… there has been huge progress in my work, and in my life. There’s certainly no lazy silence here. Not ever.

Icon Designer, the place for your desktop customisation and icon services, has gotten to version two.

Go check it out, and tell me what you think. There’s still a few minor issues with the overly spacious bottom and the page being really all-image, but that’s what I do best. Sorry, I can’t really make a lot of time free to get this into a ‘real’ website, but I do want to share with you all. New is a Macbook Pro icon, Jon ‘Wolf’ Rentzsch’s MagicHat icon, and the announcement that there will soon be some more cool client work. It will also provide you with details on how to get the upcoming ‘Military’ icon set, celebrating the successful ending of the War on Bad Design.

While I was considering a small sneak preview of Cocoia Main, I think this will do for now. Enjoy, all Macbook Pro users, and all you others; check in for the icon sweetness around the end of this month!

I have been struggling to get out a few more blog updates in my busy schedule lately. I am wrapping up this term at the Academy the 20th (that’s in a few days, yes) and after that, I’m going to have a lot to consider.

Anyway, I’m up to stuff, as you might have figured out by now. Apart from having some social obligations and things to do, I’ve got quite some client work rounded up lately and I’ve also gotten a few new requests for proposals. So, naturally, a new Icon Designer is in the works!

This and much more fancy graphics in the next few days. I might even get around to posting a preview of the new Cocoia website, which is really… well, the concept left me speechless, but as it’s looking now, it’s going to be incredible.

Also: taking some requests on what icons need replacement in the ‘military’ icon set. Let me know what icon you’d like to have a new look most (can be any icon, preferably not of a third-party)

There is a pack coming out soon to outline the end of the War on Bad Design. I’d say that with the site up soon and the clients I have got now, I can safely say the ‘war’ was is a grand success and has seen many victims of beautification. The pack will include ‘forces’ of land, sea, and air for your desktop pleasure – free of charge. This is but one icon of the set…

Yeah, I dislike the icon that much. Anyway, all other replacements didn’t really do it either for me – I mean, I got a distinct image of a newspaper in my mind that I want it to be. Also, I got my own badge for a while now and I love it to death, so, to make the move;

I hope you enjoy this little Vienna icon replacement as much as I do. The badges are on the disk image, with instructions to get them working. Follow them closely. More on Icondesigner soon.

edit: fixed…
