The Kidcon™ Icon Collection
by Gedeon Maheux
The Kidcon™ Icon Collection is meant as a reminder that kids
use and love computers just as much as us "adults". The
entire collection was created in just a few days in a blitz of creativity
that seemed to come from deep in the kids in us. Brainstorming this
set was a blast as it brought memories from our childhood flooding
back to the surface. We hope you enjoy Kidcons enough to decorate
your computer with the collection even if you're a grown-up!
The enclosed folder contains over 60 custom Kidcon icons for children
of all ages. This fun and playful set was drawn by hand utilizing
bold lines and striking colors to bring out the kid in everyone. There
are Kidcon replacements for the standard OS items like blank folders
and the trash can as well as scores of toys and objects that are sure
to loosen up any computer. Whether your eight or eighty, we're sure
you'll enjoy the Kidcon Icon Collection as long as you're young at
heart!
Thanks: This set
could not have been created without the creative support of my girlfriend
Mindy (of Deskstop fame) and my roomate Talos Tsui. Ideas for all
of the icons in this set flowed out of our brains like water, and
creating the icons themselves was almost as fast. This set was just
plain fun to create and I couldn't have done it without Min &
Talos. - Ged
