IconBuffet | Free Icons, Stock Icons, Custom Icon Design

cry187 on Mar 24, 2007

I'm a graphic designer, right now I'm doing freelance work venturing to web design. My design and inspirations came from different kind of music, mostly to local scenes and also to most foreign films that I watched. I also write poems, essays and short story. I also aspire to be a novelist someday and still working on my 7 year old novel that I have neglected for 4 years now.

watehey on Mar 24, 2007

What's the subject of the novel, Mr Bunny?

cry187 on Mar 24, 2007

@ watehey
It's called Isola: A Stagnant Tide. I also lost the supposedly first novel I was writing before that. I've written 3 chapters on that but I lost my manuscript somehow.

watehey on Mar 24, 2007

Isola? Does that refer to the Slovenian city, or something else?

mcd on Mar 24, 2007

Designer, previously of all things small (icons, Palm OS and Pocket PC interfaces, etc). Now sort of a designer of all things screen-related, as well as publisher of a small local magazine on the side.

cry187 on Mar 24, 2007

Oh, I wasn't aware that there is a word such as isola. For my book, it only meant as isolation or isolated. It's what I call in the book to wandering souls who can't see other souls. They could only see the living. That is why they felt isolated and alone since they felt like they are the only lost soul around wandering the earth.

watehey on Mar 24, 2007

Oh, deep.

Sounds like a good read. :yes:

Sly on Mar 24, 2007

Currently I am a Senior Engineer (with my degree in Electronics). I am right in the middle of changing career from being a Senior Engineer in a small company (doing all kinds of PCB design, development and software as well as PLC control systems and project management and their Website and other internal jobs) to a Project Engineer in a very large company who does pure project management and project assessment.

I am not sure if this is a good move or not, but the salary and career prospects are much better in the new job. I have been doing my current job for 8 years so it is time for a change anyway!

In my spare time I used to work on Ikonboard (a Perl based message board) where I ran a very successful and (was) well known independant hacks, modification and bugfix site called s the basic version of my story without the complexities :D

cry187 on Mar 24, 2007

I hope it would be a good read, if I do finish it ;)

Sly on Mar 24, 2007

Oh crap where is that edit button :'(
The last paragraph should read:

In my spare time I used to work on Ikonboard (a Perl based message board) where I ran a very successful and (was) well known independant hacks, modification and bugfix site called Swarf.net or IBSupport.com (now unused). After a few years of that, I then moved, with a group of the Ikonboard developers, to help write and develop Infinitecore which is a PHP based message board where I did quite a bit of PHP coding (the lead programmer was far superior to me and all credit goes to him really!!), HTML, Javascript plus all the smilies along with some of the other graphics. After that, when I got ADSL, for a year I helped on a support site for my router, helping with config and problem solving, I ended up running a fairly popular independant support FAQ. More recently I have designed, written, maintained and developed several sites the most notable being Ross-on-Wye.com.

I then found this site in it's previous format whilst hunting for graphics although I did not join the trading community there. Since this site has been updated I kind of got interested and have been hanging around ever since.

Well that's the basic version of my story without the complexities :D

watehey on Mar 24, 2007

@ cry187 - With distraction like this place, that may take a while. :laugh:

@ Sly - perhaps you could lend your bugfixing expertise to the chefs here. :P

cry187 on Mar 24, 2007

@sly,
good thing you posted again. I thought I'm still having problems with my connection since the link you gave earlier doesn't work.

cry187 on Mar 24, 2007

@watehey
yeah, a lot of distraction. I thought it was enough that I hang-out regularly in other forum/board but I found IB to be a great community to hangout. Goosh, Maybe I need a Shutdown Month so I could start writing again @_@

Sly on Mar 24, 2007

IMHO a post parser would solve some issues and an edit button/delete would solve the others.

I am sure they are working on all these things themselves :nod: It just takes time :)

Sly on Mar 24, 2007

I like the community here too, everyone is friendly and willing to share, quite rare qualities so it seems.

watehey on Mar 24, 2007

Maybe I need a Shutdown Month so I could start writing again @_@

NOOO! The bunny would surely pull the trigger then.

cry187 on Mar 24, 2007

If the bunny does, he'll be the first isola bunny heheheheh wandering through IB not knowing any other isola bunnies

watehey on Mar 24, 2007

:P

Sly on Mar 24, 2007

Anyone else going to share or is this going to turn into a rambling thread that gets hijacked like usual? :D

Berlette on Mar 24, 2007

Designer, developer, and general enthusiast :). I was browsing around one day, and your icons caught my eye. Been droolin' ever since.

watehey on Mar 24, 2007

I'm easily distracted - shoot me. :P

Jan on Mar 24, 2007

Nursing educator. I've started developing some nursing education related software -- nothing commercial yet, just freebie stuff designed specifically for my students. I'm a better programmer than graphics artist, so I was looking around for some available graphics. I'm not sure the TOS and License of IconBuffet can be stretched far enough to include any of the free icons to dress up my software, but I check in now and then anyway.

Jahnoth on Mar 24, 2007

Freelance Web designer/developer who wishes he had more talent than he really does. Living in Northeast Ohio ( Cleveland area ). Father of five, husband of one. :D

justG on Mar 24, 2007

I've been producing web sites for (oh-my-god-how-has-it-possibly-been-that-long) the past 14 years. I'm freelancing now, but looking for more stable work in Toronto, Canada.

Additionally, I'm embarking on a couple of new journeys, first as a co-owner of a multimedia production company and second as an application developer.

Web production has become, for me, a stress-inducing field that offers too many solutions for a single problem. I'm tired of re-evaluating every blogging platform and CMS every 3 months or so. Some structure, some discipline, a very linear path to a very definite goal (Objective-C + Cocoa = Mac app dev) just sounds like absolute bliss to me right now.

Dabbling in 2D illustration and design, and 3D modeling and animation, is a hobby, and the plan is for it to remain just that.

Candy on Mar 24, 2007

Welll, I'm still in High School [and hating it, btw] but I already am building up credit hours and studying programming. My current HS classes consist of Journalism and Culinary Arts, because my school sucks and offers no courses pertaining to computers.

Keeblerelf on Mar 24, 2007

Previously was a developer of security related applications. Before the start of the year I switched careers and now do network security...firewalls, security event management, that type of thing.

Have lots of free time so that's why I stop by here as often as I do.

Sly on Mar 24, 2007

@watehey: Nice and appropriate smilie by the way :D :D

watehey on Mar 24, 2007

Thank you Sly. :)

Sly on Mar 24, 2007

Heheh :K

watehey on Mar 24, 2007

Odd choice. =P

Sly on Mar 24, 2007

It was a compliment on your choice, nothing more and definitely nothing less! :bowdown:

josh on Mar 24, 2007

This is fun stuff. I was out this afternoon and missed much of the discussion, but I'm glad to see we have a decently diverse group.

@ Jan - you're certainly free to use the Free Delivery icons in your software. We simply ask that you don't redistribute the raw icons en masse apart from your projects (in essence making this site irrelevant). We want folks to get the icons directly from us first. After that, you can more or less do with them as you please. I'd love to see a screenshot of the software if you ever do decide to use some of our icons in there.

KatieK on Mar 24, 2007

I'm a web designer & developer by trade. I have a bit of the obsessive collector mentality, and I'm impressed by the unique and high quality of the icons here. Also, free is a very good price.

cheiie on Mar 24, 2007

I'm a full-time student, majoring in Neuroscience and Behaviors; I work part time for an evil empire (music-related), and am re-building an open discussion forum that was running fairly well before an issue with my host. I also do some freelance design of stickers, 'zine layouts, and stationery, when I'm not sewing plush pins & badges. I like to be busy. I'm here because I believe in supporting anyone whose design skill rises far above their need for praise and recognition from "the masses" and I have a soft spot for the little guy - even if he becomes the big guy :)

Jan on Mar 24, 2007

@Josh - Thank you. That was obviously the answer I was hoping for but didn't expect, so I'm thrilled! :) Kyoto Geometry is going to look great on the Basic Math Review software. I'll definitely send you a screenshot. You guys are terrific!

cry187 on Mar 24, 2007

@katieK
a bit of obsessive collector mentality...

I'm also can be categorize in that sense. I've been collecting too much stuff and some of it is also collecting digital dust :p

eury on Mar 25, 2007

I am a portraiture photographer. Done some covers for local newsweeklies. Worked at the design desk at the big local daily in Hawaii.

christopher on Mar 25, 2007

i go to school too.. and spread the iconbuffet love to my mates

Niels on Mar 25, 2007

I'm a computer scientist with a degree in multimedia. During my studies I stumbled upon IconBuffet's free deliveries, and used them in some websites I designed. Last year I worked as a developer at a Belgian bank, and used some icons during the development of some intranet solutions.

Nevertheless, I missed the life as a student, quit working, and started studying again. I'm now studying architecture, and don't have the time anymore to design websites, personal nor for others... Unfortunately...

So what I'm doing with IB's icons in the meantime? The same collecting obsession as others seem to be dealing with...

matthew on Mar 25, 2007

Software professional. Java, J2EE, webapps and stuff.

tamashii on Mar 25, 2007

Right now, I am the Art Director (by virtue of being the only art guy here) for a software company.

I do a lot of random design work for myself and a smattering of production work for other companies that have friends of mine at the helm.

I come to IconBuffet for some "me time" as well as to see good icon design. IB churns out some nice stuff and who wouldn't want free icon sets?

This is also a pseudo-networking community, I think. I mean, I get to virtually meet other designers and such here, so that's always a good thing.

Midori on Mar 25, 2007

I'm a quality assurance specialist on Lenovo's website. I'm not a designer, but I do try to learn new things all the time!

Finah on Mar 25, 2007

I'm a jane-of-all-trades i guess.. been a litigation specialist paralegal for 14 (ack!) years now.. just recently went back to school to study computer science.. which i'm loving (thus the programming work i get to do late at night) -- Also a jewelry designer and currently attempting to start my own business.. other than that I like collecting ze graphics :D

cry187 on Mar 26, 2007

@ finah
wow a jewelry designer. I have a few friends who ventured jewelry design too. They quite enjoy it, and they have their own customer as well since everything is uniquely hand-made.

travisseitler on Mar 26, 2007

I was a web designer by trade for almost a decade, but now that's been relegated to hobby status and I'm the Art Director for Gemstone Publishing's line of Disney classic-character comic books. It's a fun job, but I miss the dot-com design world... so I continue to blog and come to places like IconBuffet too feed my low-res fetish. (lol)

Jen on Mar 26, 2007

Service delivery specialist was my title until just recently. I worked as liaison between our company and wholesale customers to resolve circuit, ani and toll free order issues, and escalate internally on the customer's behalf. I also pull reports and proactively monitor their orders. I'm now a center repair manager in the maintenance group. I handle third level outage escalations and work internally on behalf of the customer. I'm a hobby/self-taught designer who likes to plonk around with both images and tableless css. What brings me here? The ability to meet new folks and collect the sets!

cjvan56 on Mar 26, 2007

Great thread - fun to see what everyone does! As for me, I've worked for a small company that creates and supports UPS certified shipping software for the last 12 years - can't believe it's been that long. Recently moved from managing the shipping software development to redoing all the in-house software (CRM, accounting, etc.) in .Net. Can't wait to use some of the IB stuff in the software! Also have my own jewelry design business - sterling silver and semi-precious, just started on metalsmithing, which is great fun. Hoping someday to turn that into my day job. I'm here because I've always been a gaphics and icon junkie....can't help myself :D

Grusella on Mar 26, 2007

Senior (Software) Architect. I used to be a Developer, now I'm dealing with models and patterns. From time to time I have to make an example. When it comes I prefer to develop in .Net (C#), PHP (if is available on the project), and Java (it's always welcome here if I develop some Java sample).

Now I'm on training on WWF (Windows Workflow Foundation).

seanhussey on Mar 26, 2007

Developer, mostly with Rails these days. I came here because it was built with Rails, but I stayed because I love the icons. :)

woogychuck on Mar 26, 2007

I'm just a web uber geek. I'm a designer/developer/evangelist/writer.

dishg on Mar 26, 2007

A sysadmin by profession, I log in to iconbuffet because this site is just entertaining most of the time (watehey, sly, yogachix, keeblerelf and other regulars' comments), and your icons are really awesome. Can I get my 30 points now...??? =)

emirem on Mar 26, 2007

Quingawaga on Mar 27, 2007

Woo, I'm into this discussion late. Oh well. Anyway, I'm an analytical chemist, and uh, I'm really only here 'cause iconmaster made me do it. :p

debbye on Mar 27, 2007

i drove a bus

mcd on Mar 27, 2007

Quingawaga, I couldn't resist. When I read that you're an analytical chemist, I immediately went to your icons to see if you had Durango Research. :)

bcarneiro on Mar 27, 2007

Web Designer

Quingawaga on Mar 27, 2007

mcd, that was one of the first sets I made darn sure to get! :D

Novak on Mar 28, 2007

Web developer/designer. I forget how I found IconBuffet (so long ago...) but I've been addicted ever since.

I'm also going to bump this, because it's a very interesting discussion. Tell us what you do! : D

neogeek on Apr 03, 2007

revisionsconsulting on Apr 03, 2007

Freelance Web developer here ... although lately my full-time job has been getting my house ready to sell. Which is fine becuz I've been contemplating a degree in interior design/architecture ... I'm kinda tired of feeling a half step behind everyone on the technology curve.

DENiAL on Apr 03, 2007

I'm a web designer, and a comic creator/writer. I do freelance work, and my comic. That's about it. :)

stefanie on Apr 03, 2007

I was formally a web designer for a company. I quit it to move to Hawaii. Now I'm freelancing full time and loving every minute of it.

mvisconte on Apr 03, 2007

Reports geek (database reporting, Crystal Reports) who is moving more into a management position... meaning, no time for either position. Freelance icon collector. Bad example of a good example. Boardless surfer. Forum buster. Let me see... did I leave anything out? Oh yeah, part time dog scratcher and dad.

kartooner on Apr 03, 2007

Well, I love icons and liken them to digital candy.

Also, I'm a cartoonist/illustrator and your icons are just so fresh and appealing.

meggan on Apr 03, 2007

Production Artist. I code HTML and CSS all day and I love it. I'm also a recent(-ish) graduate with a degree in Multimedia & Web Design.

I was super stoked to discover IconBuffet because I think the icons have tons of uses and they're terrifically well-designed. I posted about IB the other day because I like it so much. :D

JimSimply on Apr 03, 2007

content guy by day, designer-in-training by night. i came for the icons, i stay to feed the addiction,

WebSiteGuru on Apr 03, 2007

IT Professional during the day. Professional Web Designs all other times. I do freelance web designs off the side. :D

gswd on Apr 03, 2007

By paycheck, I am a catalog photographer, code fixer, site updater, and email campaign manger, for an ecommerce website. I like to design and code websites on the side, and hope to one day make a living at that. The hard part is finding someone that will actually pay me to do that.

penn1668 on Apr 03, 2007

I design websites as a side business but sadly I haven't had the opportunity to use any of these. Could really use some geared toward astrology, metaphysics and new age stuff which are the majority of my clients, though I do main stream businesses as well.

josh on Apr 03, 2007

penn1668 - those are some heavy hitting icons you're asking for. Ironically, we're actually working on some astrology icons for another client right now.

iconsbuffet on Apr 03, 2007

Cool! I'll watch them. I have a hard time finding things in that realm.

krissy on Apr 03, 2007

I'm a freelance copywriter and a journalism/criminology double major. I hang out at iconbuffet because I have a serious obsession for collecting cute little icons that I can use to customise folders etc on my Mac.

hoosierplew on Apr 03, 2007

I'm a web specialist for a large public University in central Indiana. I also do some freelance web design in my spare time. I hang out @ iconbuffet for the wicked-awesome icons and the creative buzz I get from being in the general web-vicinity of designers far superior to me.

wishingline on Apr 04, 2007

I'm a designer of things web and print related, though more on the web side despite an equally long background in print and prepress having worked on the prepress side for a number of years.

I currently run Wishingline DS and work with clients across Canada, the US (3 in Austin, Tx currently) and have done a bit abroad in Europe as well. I dig good icons, design and a rockin' rhythm.

drustar on Apr 05, 2007

Production Designer for Geary Interactive. I actually used an icon set that were purchased here for a project. Go Kyoto Icons!

iqon on Apr 05, 2007

I'm also one of those in-house designer types.

Balloonatic on Apr 05, 2007

I have a degree in Mechanical Engineering ... currently I am doing a lot of children entertainment, mainly at hospitals and for charity fund raisers, you can see some examples of my work here ... I am currently trying to work out how to make the ultimate childrens entertainer website, but I still haven't got the hang of it yet

maybe this url will work better balloonatic.eu

Anouska on Apr 05, 2007

I'm a full-time law student... I get money from working in a local supermarket in the weekends, and I'm a webdesigner in my spare time. I'm working on setting up (yes, working on setting up) a business to try and make money from (web)designing :) I came here through Jen who'd posted about this place on a message board I'm stuck at (TFL.org MB for those interested). I'm staying because I love the icons ^-^

sfritz313 on Apr 05, 2007

I've done many, many things. My first job way back in the day was with the University of Michigan Weather Underground (the weather info site, not the student terrorist organization. ;) designing a hurricane tracking CD-ROM(remember those?) for K-12 students. Was awesome, and very low-pay. I then worked for a number of dot-com era web design/multimedia firms, and finally worked for Midway Games in Chicago doing user interface graphics. Nowadays I'm a children's librarian.... giving my art skillz a bit of a rest. :)

kmfnj on Apr 05, 2007

I am a web/print/multimedia designer and web application developer for a company just North of Houston. I freelance in my spare time (wait... what spare time?!)

Currently I have a blog that is in dire need of some design work. You can check out my portfolio if you really wanna, but like I said, my website is totally UN-impressive at the moment. ;)

Anyway, I guess I'm here at Icon Buffet mainly for goofing off and having fun. (oh yeah and for the icons, duh.) I've very much enjoyed the community aspect, sometimes even moreso than the icons (although Taipei Tiny is SUH-WEET) ;)

hilarylang on Apr 05, 2007

Jill of all trades? I'm a freelance database/software developer, management consultant, business analyst, graphic designer, web designer, theatical lighting designer, and photographer. I pick the hat for the day (or hour) depending upon which project is closest to deadline, and if none is immediately due, depending upon my mood or the day or the weather or... you get the idea. Anyway, I come out whenever I've gotten a much-anticipated email telling me I've got a free delivery and while I'm picking it up, I'll check out the new icons, chat for a while, disengage my brain from wherever it's been for the past 8 or 9 hours, and get some inspiration. Great site & great community for that!

rossdh on Apr 07, 2007

Designer. Freelance Graphics. In the past I have done web pages, logos, product labels, and Ads.

ehooton on Apr 07, 2007

I'm a stay-at-home mom with about half of a graphic design degree. I'm a pastor's wife and minister myself. I will probably never finish the design degree (I have a bachelor's already and don't enjoy school). But my hubby and I are at a small church and I do all the bulletins and any other design needs that come along. We would like to start a church in the future and I would do all the design for it. I love collecting anything free that I might be able to use at some point. I like being prepared.

angelamaria on Apr 07, 2007

Oooh this is a long thread :D

By training/profession, I'm a systems engineer/web developer, dabbling primarily in PHP/XHTML/CSS/JS. I'm also a freelancer, recently I've been declining webdev (i.e., web applications development) and going for more web design gigs. Web design has been a hobby since 1998. :) I do have a few hobby projects over at my scripts archive/tech blog, and my portfolio is over at Indisguise.

What I'd like to be really doing, though, is writing. Writing is my first love. :) I blog about those at Seasonal Plume. :)

dantesfurnose on May 29, 2007

I run a thesis and dissertations editing office at a university in Turkey. I created and maintain our websites. I'm married to an architect and our daughter is heavily into pixel design (dollz), so I do that sometimes. I'm also a photographer and quilt maker.

Spongefile on May 29, 2007

Another jeweler/metalsmith here! Used to be a high school English Lit teacher, but am slipping into web development. Loving UI design, and needed icons to fine tune the rough edges of my startup. Found this site with its beautiful icon specimens and got hooked by its surreal but somehow fundamentally good-feelings-all-around trading system. Stayed for the soothing colours and pleasant company.

opello on May 29, 2007

Cool to see this thread got revived. Glad I didn't completely miss out! :)

I'm a Software Engineer, although programmer is more appropriate. Currently doing application design and development. I've also wondered (like Jan) if we could use these in commercial apps, but it seemed like the TOS wanted a note in the About box (which isn't too much to ask, by any stretch, but some of the little tools don't always have an About dialog).

Other than that, for the last 10 years or so, playing with the "web stuff." (x)HTML, JavaScript, PHP, Perl, ASP/ASP.Net. Leaving the real work to be done in C++ and C#. :D

JBVisions on May 29, 2007

Owner, designer and developer of a mainly web services company although I also do training in Office Products and pretty much most other stuff your average computer newbie might need.

In my spare time I write columns for 2 music magazines and sub edit one as well.

MiCCAS on May 29, 2007

Well I'm still in school, age 15 :)

I'm looking at becoming a web designer, and IconBuffet is my home to stay because of the quality!

ambershaffer on May 29, 2007

The IB census! I'm a web/email designer. I'm wracking my brain to remember how I found out about IB over a year and a half ago, but can't...either a web search for "icons" or else one of my many newsletters name dropped the site. Anyway, I just pop in once in a while for a break from work.

I'm a student who writes in blogs ;)

Tachi on Jun 02, 2007

What was the question again? ^.^

OH... sorry... ADD. XD

I used to be an office worker (don't do it! Don't throw your life away! X_X). Now I'm a bum. Er... I mean, I'm a writer. ^,^ I've been a full time writer now for precicely 518 days. Most of that time I've spent actually learning how to write, without an office-fried brain. (Kinda changes everything when it's not physically painful to think.) So no novel yet. But I'm working on several, feverishly. lol

Why am I here? Well, to begin with, I can't stand looking at the same, boring icons on my computer all the time. Secondly, I'm very silly, and like to have all of my story folders with icons that remind me of that story. (Just try finding icons that remind you of a sci fi story or fantasy story. >,>)

Finally, I like to use the PNGS for IM avatars sometimes. Like the shiny blue frog icon I found. >looks at it with big, watery eyes of admiration and love<

Oh, and I'm also a chronic procrastinator. So it's another thing that actually keeps me from doing my job. Which from time to time becomes a serious problem. ^,^

joshuasbones on Jun 02, 2007

THEY make me. I don't want to!

tommythewolfboy on Jun 09, 2007

My name is Thomas, and I was raised by wolves before developing an unhealthy addiction to pixels (yum, they taste crunchy).

I now design websites, provide UI consultancy, illustrate, create fun flash stuff (games! yay!) and hunt deer with the rest of my pack (OK, that last part isn't true).

I also used to be the drummer in a UK band that almost made it big, but, um ... well, almost ain't enough is it?! Now spending my time colouring in instead, but have many great memories and somewhat gallingly, have played a gig with just about every other popular UK indie/rock band over the last couple of years at one point or another. Haha, and none of them as good as my lot, of course ;)

webmonkey on Jun 09, 2007

I am an independent code monkey also, picking up anything from front to back end as needed for clients. I homeschool my children (I have lots) and live far enough away from everything that I feel secluded, but not so far that I can't have DSL.

Psy2k on Jun 09, 2007

I am a student, studying digital systems and technology education (e-learning, e-working and all that stuff) and working as a web designer.

jameshilton on Jun 13, 2007

I do a little web development as a hobby, my main job is a manager at a golf club in England, i built a web site for them and also maintain it. i have requested golf related icons before, any chance?

FallenAngel on Jun 13, 2007

I'm a part time local government officer, and part time web developer. I spend more time on web development though - local govt. I do 19 hours a week - the rest of the time my web development and on a "web" day I'm at the keyboard around 14 hours a day.

Why do I hang around IB? 'Cos it's so darned addictive! I love icons and I like collecting points and having a laugh on the forums. What I don't like though is having no stamps. Kinda spoils the fun :-(

a2 on Jun 27, 2007

I'm a flight attendant. I've taught myself x/html, css and javascript because it's fun (most of my friends gasp at that part, but I figure ya'll will understand). I'm planning on learning php next (suggestions for books/online tutorials welcome).

Guess I should have been something other than a history major! But I love to learn about everything!

ProDevStudio on Jun 28, 2007

I am a programmer. I've done a lot of programming on Artificial Intelligence and now working for University of Manchester, UK.

Apart from that I am busy with www.ProDevStudio.com mostly.

I am a receptionist with a banking institution and am working on moving into the marketing dept. I need skills, plus - Chef Josh is cute!

Laurwren on Jun 28, 2007

>>Chef Josh is cute

hehe they should do a IB Staff icon set!

crunnells on Jun 28, 2007

I'm a web designer and to some small degree, a developer as well. I've been making websites for some 11 years now, and I'm here at IB because they make great icons. I signed up a while ago, but never traded before you launched the new system.

Oh, and I want to work for Firewheel, you guys seriously rock :)

Billiam on Jul 06, 2007

I've been a comedy writer for about 20 years. I've written sitcoms but now my full energy is directed towards my site Animal-Internet.com It's a social networking site that publishes humorous editorials written by animals. I found IB while searching for a designer to update my site. I hope Firewheel to gets back to me and can do it. I love this place!

lilysunshine on Jul 07, 2007

I'm a webmaster-designer-developer / project manager for a quite important company which provides stock exchanges and financial information in real time here in Europe. During my free time, I tend to do the same thing for (rock) bands. :)

InternetONE on Jul 07, 2007

Web / print designer. I am the owner of InternetONE.net - a web design and hosting company. On the side, I am a weekly guest host on a local radio talk show, "Talk About Service".

I found Icon Buffet while searching for some unique icons for a website design.

tylermenezes on Jul 08, 2007

I'm all of those: Designer, Developer, Student, Hobbyist, and Freelancer.

I'm 15 (as of yesterday), I run a small web design company I created. We also develop programs, and graphics. I enjoy IconBuffet greatly. I also do a lot of freelance work for my school.

Kornfreak on Jul 08, 2007

I'm trying to get into doing some web design work, but I have yet to really do any work for anyone. I plan on getting a portfolio site up sometime soon, along with offering free sevices for a bit.

I joined IB cause I really wanted one of the icon sets, but I didn't realize how cool the site as a whole is...

terremom on Sep 20, 2007

Gee, I feel unworthy to be included with so many highly dedicated and creative souls. At 51, my many paying jobs have included selling shoes (long before the Bundy fellow was on TV), driving a delivery truck (2-ton), a grill cook for DQ, a Special Ed substitute teacher, staff writer for a weekly paper (BA in Communications), freelance writer, and my current career, caring for adults with developmental challenges. Of course, my most important occupation has been mother, and then grandmother, to 2 daughters, 4 sons, 4 grandaughters and a soon to arrive grandson. I know nothing about icons 'cept I like them. And that when I stumbled upon the IB about 20 months ago I found a great treasure! Thanks Josh. And thank the others for me, too. Take care, Terre

dawmail333 on Sep 20, 2007

Programmer (hobbyist). I got the Icon Buffet Pack that came from the Visual Studio Express benefits page, and eventually came here. I also knock up a few things in Paint.Net: go to my DeviantArt page (dawmail333.deviantart.com) to see some of them. I have some better ones that I haven't put on there yet.

roderblue on Sep 20, 2007

I'm another web designer/developer. I see from my stats that I joined back in 2005 - I have *no* idea how this happened!

bkendall on Sep 20, 2007

I am a web designer/developer. I work for a small consulting firm and I am the only creative guy so I do all of the print and marketing internally as well. At times I do some of the Cold Fusion and PHP programming but I am a designer at heart.

sollaroll on Sep 20, 2007

I'm a freelance Graphic designer (print) and illustrator. I got invited by a fellow IB user and I have been here since...
