OK, maybe I am wrong about this: 40 dollars for one icon??? LOL
Tuesday, September 16, 2003 by joetheblow | Discussion: Skinning
I was on the Netscape main page... minding my business when I cam across 2 things.
One a screensaver that tracks the movements of storms over the Earth
Two was a link to download icons for the PC. (NOTICE the icons are for all users win 9.x
)
... so anyway as I was saying, I come across this site where someone is selling icons for... 40 dollars (USD). I think well if its a set of like 1000 or more icons that makes sense. That stuff is hard to do.
Then I realize he means one icon is 40 dollars
So I look at the icons closely... and literally say, "WTF?"
At least they could be fly icons... but they are just 'good'.
Then again it does give you the icon set royalty free. So maybe that is why its 40 dollars.... for one.... one icon.
The place:
Icon Pharm
Am I wrong about whay I am thinking?

I didn't want to put a link up just in case I was totally right and having people go on his site saying stuff about his prices.
That is the going price? How does anyone find out about this stuff? Don't want anyone to get swindled out of there due pay.
I don't know... icons for a program is that much? Wow.
How is the icon field? crowded? Let me in there!

Koasati, I have noticed that (some of you know what I charged for another guy 
) still, easy way of making money... and fun 
40$ is still a bit expensive IMO

In the future, how about including a link? http://iconpharm.com/
This appears to be a site to purchase icons for use in software, hence the sentence Buy original, copyright-clean icons for your software: $40 each is pretty much standard pricing for commercial icons. This isn't a site to download icons for personal use.
