 |  My new icon site: get icons and give feedback!
Hello people! I'm an icon designer with a freshly launched site Itookia.com There I offer XP and Vista icons, icon sets and custom icons. Please check it out and tell me what you think. I also have a Free Set for all to download, and 15 free icons each month - but you have to find them first! Few days ago we added Live Chat and Itookia Blog Here's the shocker: I'm giving you people the URL to these 15 "steal" icons!  Go to free "User" icon, steal it, and then just change the icon IDs - the last four numbers in the URL. Here are the IDs: 2849, 2837, 2438, 2408, 2379, 2345, 2452, 2485, 2507, 2523, 2639, 2529, 2725, 2762 enjoy! hope you make a good use of them! P.S. After robbing me, please come back and give me your feedback on my site. Two of us built it on our free time during past 9 months - it's our first baby!  See You there!

The font on the main page is rather difficult to read and lacks a certain professional polish (I am referring to the label fonts, e.g. "Icon Library", "Toolbar Icons", etc). I fear that the watermark that you use on your icons obscures them too much. The watermark is overwhelmingly distracting. It needs to be much more subtle.

Cheers Rob! Thanks for the advice! Jim - wow, you're right... I'd never realize the font was difficult to read - I know what it says! And the watermark...it really sucks. It was added after the first one didn't serve its purpose. I'll get into it soon. Thanks for the comment! I really appreciate it.

1) The bubble icon on the right reads "All icons $2,99". The comma makes the price look confusing. Is it suppose to read "$2,999" or is it "$299"? 2) The "steal this" button doesn't do anything. Not sure of it's purpose. 3) "icons each month for you to steel". Steal is misspelled.

$2.99 sounds ridiculously cheap (especially relative to other competition) and just proves my point even further. The price point is confusing and it needs to be clarified. If you're selling yourself as a design company you had better make sure your message is clear.

Thanks guys. I'm so ashamed of my poor English spelling. Steel!  And the comma.... Oh well, at least I've learned even more from my mistakes: CHECK that second time before publishing. CHECK after publishing. Check because you're too excited about it for your brain to see any mistakes. Check because your brain turns into Homer Simpson's brain thinking of donut. Jim - um....yes, our icons are that cheap. 2.99$ for one icon, whether Vista or XP. I can't ask more for them because they aren't worth more. Yet.  And that cloud is definitely going down..
