The New and Improved IconBuffet

Filed under Design, Entertainment on May 9th, 2007 by Chris Harrison

I loved the old IconBuffet site immensely. I love the new site even more. Firewheel Design took a simple task - collecting icons - and turned it to an fun and engaging community. I’ve jokingly said that collecting icons is like collecting Pokemon: Gotta catch ‘em all. New sets come out each week, and there’s definitely some excitement in trying to get the new sets before anyone else.

  • You can earn points by inviting friends, and sending/accepting deliveries.
  • You can earn badges for different milestones. There are badges for collecting x number of Silver Medal deliveries, having x number of Manhattan icons, etc.
  • You can become a VIP where you get more tokens each month for downloading free deliveries PLUS you get 20% off stock icon sets from Iconbuffet.

It’s definitely worth looking into… While you’re at it, check out my profile and see if there are any sets you might like. I’d be happy to hook you up.

Screenshot of new IconBuffet siteThe folks over at Firewheel Design just unveiled the new IconBuffet website. You can read more about it over on their blog, Sparkplug.

One of the cool new features of IconBuffet is the Free Delivery feature… where you can get free icons every month. The catch is, you might get Download A, and I get Download B, and a coworker gets Download C. We can send invites to our friends and allow them to snag our downloads. If you feel like sharing, my account email address is chris@powerserve.net ;)

The icons Firewheel has available are really sweet. I’ve bought several sets from them in the past for use on design projects, and they deliver a high quality product. I especially like that they now offer some vector versions of the icons…
