Have
a favicon made for your Web site, a few personal icons, or
completely overhaul the system icons on your computer.
To
change the system icons on your computer, it is recommended that you
use a program such as IconPackager
so that you do not accidentally change any critical lines of code.

Icons are
$10 each. Order 25+ icons, and pay only $7
each. Icons can be designed from scratch, a photo, existing artwork,
etcetera (no copyright violation, please). Please be prepared to have a
list of icon(s) that you would like, and/or supply any required images.
Work time
depends on the number of icons, their complexity, any corrections that you
may request, and my current work load. All transactions are paid through
PayPal. Contact me for a quote before making any payments. For
large/expensive orders, I only require half payment up front, the rest
when the work is complete.
     
I can also
create Mac versions (ICNS and/or BIN formats), which come free with a PC
icon. Be aware that I do not work
with Mac computers, so my knowledge on these is very limited. I will not be able to
help you troubleshoot.
NOTE: I
only design icons. Integrating them into any programs/operating
systems is your task.
