the icons are great for website designers who need a great little addition but i suggest selling them in psd format too for a bit more flexibility. Roy D

wow, nice icons for the bitmap (raster) ones, interesting :)
as i see there’s a talk about icons, i’ll share something with you guys – it’s no competition, of course. we’re just launching (in process) a vector icons website. first collection of 84+1 icon is available online, review it.
ah, right. url: http://www.iconfish.com

If you’re going to start adding to this collection; and if I buy them, do I get upgrades? What if I discover a security vulnerability? Are they open-source, does the Pope approve?
P.S. At some point next week I will cough up and buy them I think.

stylo~ – The page with the green right arrow was originally thought to be “upload file”, but one of the reasons I left descriptions off was so that it wouldn’t pigeon-hole their use. The icon with a red stripe on top of green stripes is meant to say “system activity” (good for CMS stuff). And the page (blue and grey) could be used for denoting “web page” or “application window”, etc. Thanks.

Very nice. Considering a purchase myself.
How about a little shopping cart, though? That would be a great addition and broaden the appeal of it!
Also, just curious, what do you envision using some of them for, such as:
-the page with the green right arrow? Next page, I guess? If so, a previous would be good too. We can flip it, but the shadow then goes the wrong way. (And might I ever so humbly suggest enlarging the arrow slightly to match the plus and pencil size on the preceding icons?)
-page with the one red then blue stripes in the middle of it?
-the two of a page with a header (one with a blue body, one without)?

Also – this is the first time I’ve posted here but I’ve been a simple bits reader for a while now. I’ve learned a lot from Dan and the other usual suspects of standards and css design. I’m in the middle of building my first css based movable type driven site – when it’s done I’ll let you know. I still need all the help I can find so any tips or other resource ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks again guys – keep on truckin’!
Happy Canada Day! 8^)

Hey guys- thanks for the reply! The last half of my post was cut off for some reason. Maybe it was too long. Anyway – I wanted to say – I’ve noticed that Dan and others aren’t using the – linkrel=”shortcut icon”…. tag anymore. I’m on a mac and I’ve got the photoshop plug-in so i can save the img as .ico but I was wondering if there maybe another way to get it into the addy bar. thanks for the tips. Keith – I’ll check out your write up.

Jaime - if you're looking for how to make a favicon, I've written up a method here. You can do it for no cost if you are on Windows; if you are a Mac user you'll have to shell out a modest amount for a program to create the .ico file.

Thanks again for the purchases and kind words. Jaime - Check out favicon.com. They have all the info you need regarding favicons. Also, if you're on OS X, I've had good luck with Iconographer (awkward name, good software). It makes creating different sizes with transparent masks easy. Photoshop or your favorite image editor will work as well of course.
