Now I'm sure you wondering why the heck I'm talking about the flu and Costa Rica and what that has to do with FileMaker icons. Well basically for the past three weeks I've been stuck in bed while the doctors keep pumping me full of antibiotics. Thusly three weeks of laying in bed drove me absolutely crazy - you see I feel that I must be productive or I am wasting my wonderful time here on this lovely planet.
So, I created a new set of icons for FileMaker and the web named "Futuresque". Usually I create a new set every year for Devcon - I've done this for the past 6 Devcons, and they are usually drawn about a month before the actual trade show. For those of you that have been stuck in bed with the Flu - you know there is only so much you can read and only so much TV you can watch (That does exclude Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune - have you seen Pat Sajak's wife?) Sorry back on track - new Futuresque series can be seen here. http://www.fmwebschool.com/buttons.html
I decided to be creative, explore the web whilst stuck in bed and try to come up with a series of icons that were fresh and new and different. I created a set of 80 icons which I think (and that's all that matters really) are visually appealing and well in every day language, it's easy to figure out what the heck they are.
I had so much fun creating this set, (and by the way they come in 3 different sizes 24px, 32px, 48px) that I decided I would sell this set half price this week and take request for 10 more icons to be added to the group. The ten extra icons will be free, and I'll pick the top ten request.
(Disclaimer - I apologize if I sound less enthused in this movie - I was heavily medicated and wearing a large bib that I stole from my daughter)
I'm also including a free FileMaker file that shows you how to change the color of the icon when you click on it. This way you can use the greyscale version of the icons that I am including with the set. If you watch the video here - http://www.fmwebschool.com/movies/iconmovie/iconmovie.html You'll see what I mean, I demonstrate the database in the movie.
So, that's my pitch, if you like these icons, let me know - they'll be on sale through next Friday February 20th for $19.99 (including the 10 free bonus icons and the database file) After that they will go up to $39.99.
Once you buy the icon set, simply let me know 10 other icons you would like for me to design - I will take the 10 most requested icons and create 10 Free additional icons for this set.
Extra Bonus

** More to come - I'm creating 2 more sets for Devcon this year - everyone that buys this set will get the next two sets for 1/2 off as well **
Well that's it, I'm off to more chicken soup, crackers and good old coke-a-cola. Buy my icons and make the world a more artistically creative place!
