Are Custom Icons free of charge?

No, developing Custom Icons is a paid service.

How long will it take for you to make custom icons for me?

This depends on the number of icons required, but generally our developers can complete even medium-sized projects in a couple of weeks

In which formats/sizes are icons available?

Our icons are available in a variety of formats and sizes. Since our major targets are web oriented applications, we tend to supply all icon sets in perhaps the most adequate web image format, 32-bit PNG. This format is the most suitable for web applications since it provides real transparency feature which is very important for high quality icons. If you insist on using other formats (GIF or JPG for instance, which are also frequently used when it comes to web apps) you must bear in mind that a background color (for JPG), or at least a matte (for GIF) must be applied- in order to make the quality of the icons an obvious feature. Our icons are also suitable for desktop applications, they commonly come in PNG file format, in the following sizes: 16x16px; 24x24px; 32x32px; 48x48px and 128x128px.
