    Where the Wild Things Are. Right Here

    Uniq yet similar. So here’s a beautiful finder icon that some feel looks inspired by this one. Personally i like it when my half swirls meet in the middle.

    tucked away. A good, tiny, unobtrusive bowtie theme

    I’m angry. and so is he.

    Kawaii. Kitty

    Deja Tweet. I’ve been known to debate the merits of an 80% gray versus a 75% gray. So unsurprisingly i gladly encourage debate by linking to another wonderful tweetie icon

    Not Serious. A little birdie told me that Jonas liked Tweetie enough to change it’s icon. I like Tweetie better with this icon too.

    MBP Wallpaper. SOOOOO SEXY. MBP P0rn

    For the Shogun in All of Us. These Hoya icons are so damn nice I’m thinking of tattooing of them on me.

    The Roundup 2/8 Bumper Edition

    This is going to be a post packed with beautiful productions, so make sure you check out all the links and don’t miss a single one, they’re all stunning. Picking images was extremely hard this time round, so you might find something you like even more in one of the links without an image.

    AldanH has released his version of Sony’s Microvault drives, in an assortment of rich and enticing colours. An icon that would look great sitting alongside .Parth’s new MacBook Pro which is as detailed as you could possibly expect and beautifully toned.

    Shelves are apparently the new hot ticket on macthemes and Deluxive has released a hole plethora of Shelves in photoshop format for you all to have a play with. Penultimately in our big count down of the latest releases here on macthemes is Spargett’s Torrent icon. An unusual, but effective icon for all those that use bittorent software. Last, but no certainly not least is cj1224’s cute but usable MailPlane icon, fun, friendly and perfectly formed to sit in your dock.

    The Roundup 1/20

    Lets do this!

    The first release I’m going to cover is a little unusual. For some reason the idea of finder backgrounds has never really taken off in the mac community, but I have a feeling that after SpiralStairs’ latest release of shelves backgrounds, that’s all going to change.

    Matthewrex has released a few batman related icons in the last week, this has to be my favourite. The level of detail on Harvey’s Lucky coin is fantastic. I’ll wrap things up with aneeshparekh’s TV Show icons. Clean, sophisticated and sharp, this set will aid any tv fans collection.

    The Roundup 1/16

    Well then, I do believe it’s friday, the greatest day of any week, unless you happen to have found a new partner, got a new job and drank a heck of a lot on another day, in which case you could claim that that particular week a day other than friday was best. Clearly the icon design world agrees as it’s a triple bill of icon perfection on the cards.

    I always start out big, the largest, most detailed and biggest release of the day gets to go first. Once again Jonas Rask has released a set of stunning icons in the form of an iTunes replacement set. Packaged in three colour variations and two disc types, well worth an icon connoisseurs perusal.

    Batting for the iconfactory with more consistent releases than we have ever seen from them, is Louie Mantia, following up his Wall-E drive set featured earlier this week with another icon based on the film. Microbe-Obliterator continues the film theme nicely and looks perfect in any dock. The last icon is by an unknown outsider to our little design village, Fayceless has released a great Apple hardware inspired icon for the new Cinema Displays, something new MacBook owners will surely be happy to see.
