Business Set Update complete 31st May 2005
Our update of the Business Set Small Edition is now complete! It now includes the 32bit PNG and ICO versions, and in addition, most of the icons have been tweaked and revised. All registered users who own the old version of this set will receive the update free of charge - if you didn't receive your email with the download instructions, please contact us.
I would also like to announce the availability of the Business Set Large Edition, which contains the same great icons, but in 32x32, 48x48 and 64x64 pixel sizes. These really look great and will add a lot to your applications. As with our other sets, if you wish to purchase both the Small Edition and Large Edition, a discounted Combo Pack is also available.

Server Upgrade 21st April 2005
Just a quick update in case anyone had problems accessing our web site last night, or was seeing any broken links. We moved to a brand new server, and there was a period of a few hours where some visitors may have been seeing the old site, and parts of the new one. The transfer is now complete, and everything is back up and running.

Object Set nearing completion 1st April 2005
Our latest creation, the Object Set is almost ready for release. This is a generic set of geometric shapes, including arrows, squares, circles,
diamonds etc designed for 'non-specific' tasks. A lot of developers asked us for a set of basic shapes, with no predefined meaning to be
available. These are great in program wizards, intro screens, about screens or skinned applications.
The set consists of 20 objects, each available in 8 different colours! Both Small Edition and Large Edition versions will be available at release,
which should be within days.
Also, the Multimedia 32bit update and Large Edition set will be finished very shortly, along with something new, the Folder & Document Set. Stay tuned for more information!
