Just a few months ago, while talking about icons and the different ways of depicting them, a different idea came around, just for fun. André and Everaldo were discussing about the use of gradients, gaussian blurs, and stuff alike. The point was, would a mac icon with no gradients or shade effects be still elegant and realistic? André, passionate for vector-based graphics, decided to give it a shot. The kind of game let’s-see-what-happens, he started to play with a few icons. Only flat colors and shapes. No gradients, no blurs. Cut the story short, the results were cool, really, and it was funny to draw 41 icons that way.

So… dear folks, this fresh icon set made just for fun is now available for download. Just head up to our download section or click here to put some cool flatness on your desktop. After all it’s not everyday you can call flatness a cool feature in an icon. =)
