I wanted to announce a few other things. First of all, I will celebrate a whopping three days of vacation at Lowlands 2007, a musical festival that is all about atmosphere. You there? Spot me and get a free drink (it’s the guy in the Cocoia t-shirt, duh).

More importantly for all blog readers; as I have announced yet another War on Bad Design icon set it makes all the more sense to do some price-slashing! In the days that I’m out (starting thursday, August 16th and ending monday, August 20th), Noble, my stock icon set, will be discounted to a mere 30 euro’s. Be snappy and get it while it’s hot (and practically free - had I mentioned to you you get addon packs for free and a lifetime of free use?). And who knows, if sales are going well, I might stick with the price.

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…

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…
