Info On Rad.8 Minium Iconset

i found this post by Sacha (Rad.8) while i was looking for more info about the Minium set. U can see the whole discussion HERE

Here i the whole post:

Hiya everybody. Stumbled across this topic while browsing my site's logs and thought I'd give you my 2 ¢ on a few things.

First of all, thanks a lot to all people who offered to host my icons. Sorry I could not get back to you any earlier, I'll detail this in a reply I'll send in a few minutes.

And a big hug goes out to all the people who donated. This really helps, thanks so much!

...which leads me here:

Not that he doesn't deserve it, but I think at this point, he is really just wanting to get paid. I sent him an e-mail, as I am sure others have too, and have not received a reply (yet.)

You'll receive your reply shortly

Apart from that I want to make sure that I don't want to get paid. That's not my aim in making my icons. I really love knowing that thousands of thousands of people out there use my icons. That's really uplifting and makes me want to go on.

But if you give your stuff to the people and in turn have to pay several thousand bucks (not for the regular hosting, I'd pay that anyway and it's not much - only for exceeded bandwidth)... it's just not funny anymore. I work hard for my money. And I'm sure you do too. And if you had to pay that much money for giving your icons to me, you'd also want to find a better way.

To Dave Brasgalla and the folks who pointed out the similarity to some of Dave's icons:

Yes, I admit it. I love Dave's work. Guilty of charge. And no good icon designer is NOT influenced by The IconFactory's excellent work.

But! Not this time. Though I published the MINIUM° preview now, it has been Work In Progress for months and I started working on them BEFORE G5 Drives was released.

The fact that the drives look familiar is quite obvious - as Dave said it. They share the same idea, an HD icon with G5 elements.

So. Honestly. I didn't steal. It's coincidence.

I have to disappoint the people who are expecting a soon release of the icons. They're not ready yet. I'm too busy with other projects to pick up the work on them. Sorry. But the longer the wait, the better the icons.

Take care!
