Silk icons for web apps

IconsThe free Silk icon set from famfamfam.com is very useful for giving even the most mundane of web pages a little polish. With over 700 icons you’d think you’d have one for every occasion, right? Wrong! Or so says Damien Guard, who is releasing a companion set of 400+ icons in the same style as the original.

Nice work, will look forward to seeing them!

(20th Nov 2007: the new icon set is now available!)

Notes on Geograph’s Redesign, Part 1

Front pageAs the OS liked the design draft I posted here a few days ago, I’m refining it further as a complete freshen up of the design. First up, here’s a slight refinement of the front page.
