Dear friends,

It’s been a month (and one day) since DryIcons.com first saw the light of day. During this “small” period of time a lot has happened to us personally and our website.

We started DryIcons.com with only 2 icons sets: Aesthetica and Blue Velvet. Today we have 4 icons sets and a new one coming next week! During this month we developed our 2 WYSIWYG icons sets: Classic and Sapphire and additionally worked on a whole new set: Ruby Multimedia. All in all, today DryIcons.com archive consists of 4 icons sets and a total of 340 unique icons.

I don’t know if you noticed, but we also changed DryIcons’ looks a bit. In conversation with our users, and after a personal realization, we decided to remove all Google Adsense from our website, and continue our work without them. Removing them created some serious gaps in our design structure, so we had to redesign the whole home page. Now we have a more stylish and user-friendly home page, and we’re very proud of it!

Of course, our celebration wouldn’t be complete if it wasn’t for you, our visitors. We started off this project out of pure enthusiasm, we had no expectations and no goals, we only wanted to continue working on our icon sets and developing this website. Now, a month later and 5000 visits away, we feel even more thrilled to be doing this, because we know our work is serving its purpose, and because there are people who appreciate what we do. A month later and our goal had set itself: “To make http://dryicons.com/ your on-line resource for free icons, so you don’t have so search any more!”

For those who know how to keep a secret: we’re also working on a “Christmas surprise” icon set, since we’re all starting to sense the holiday spirit and make it our Christmas present to you.

DryIcons has officially made the WYSIWYG icon set available. Driven by the huge popularization and demand of WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) web icons, we created these highly useful icons sets and made them available for everyone visiting the DryIcons website. This useful collection consists of two slightly different icon sets: “WYSIWYG Classic” and “WYSIWYG Sapphire”.
The “WYSIWYG Sapphire“, as the name indicates, can find its use wherever you might need WYSIWYG editing or similar actions in your applications. The WYSIWYG Sapphire Icon Set is a part of the DryIcons’ WYSIWYG sequence icon sets, the name is inspired by its specific tone colors giving it an unique ’sapphire’ look. This set contains 47 high quality web icons. They come in PSD and PND file formats, in 128 x 128px size. Read the rest of this entry »

We begin our DryIcons blog with great pleasure. Because this is our first post, we would like to introduce ourselves, as a way to start an on-going dialog related to web icons (of course), graphic and web design, programming, web trends, tips, etc.

Our team consists of four people, two programmers and two designers. Initially, we started working on a small set of icons for a local Software Development Company. We had so much fun while working on the project, that we continued developing icons for ourselves. This website and all icons sets are a product of an enthusiastic goal: to share and give away!

Keep in mind that dryicons.com is a living being, we are constantly working on creating new icons and icon sets, new services and a whole lot more. What we have now is only the beginning, new sets are on their way.
