Since its creation, icons.cx has been dedicated to bringing you the best in icons, desktop pictures, and other goodies for your Mac. Okay, okay, it's really just here to provide an outlet for our random bursts of creativity. Luckily, both goals are close to the same. :-)

In addition to the free downloads provided here, you'll find our work in products from The Omni Group, id Software, Panic, Epicware, Wolfware, illumineX, Mscape Software, Vampiresoft, and others. Interested in our services? Drop us a line.

We appreciate your feedback! If you've got something to say, feel free to send mail to either of our individual addresses or to icons@icons.cx for general issues.

Rick's weblog

Rick Roe is the webmaster of icons.cx and its most prolific contributor. Rick started the site that eventually became icons.cx back in December 1998, after obsessive completism turned a Jupiter hard drive icon into an entire set of icons based on celestial bodies.

Formerly a User Experience specialist at The Omni Group, Rick's now an independent developer working on the next generation of killer Mac apps. (Stay tuned for announcements on this front in the coming year.) When not designing and building software or making icons and other graphics, he can often be found playing Metroid or World of Warcraft.

Anne Thissen-Roe
anne@icons.cx

Anne Thissen-Roe got hooked on the icon-building craze and officially joined icons.cx in July 1999; after Rick converted several of her natural-media art pieces into cool-looking icons, Anne started doing a few herself. She's since published several of her own works here.

When not making icons or shooting desktop photos, Anne juggles working as a selection science whiz at Unicru, finishing a doctoral degree in quantitative/cognitive psychology at the University of Washington, composing electronic music, and other pursuits.

Rikku
icons@icons.cx

Rikku is an iMac G4/800 running Mac OS X Server 10.3. Rikku is our ultimate Digital Hub — not just a home jukebox, photo organizer, CD/DVD burner, and iPod docking station, but also the web, file, DNS, and email server for Icons.cx headquarters. All without breaking a virtual sweat.

Rikku is named for a perky young character in Squaresoft's epic game Final Fantasy X, and is the fourth server to host Icons.cx.
