I would recommend Kinetic Icons to any software company wishing to add some flare to their application UI. Dave has the rare ability to take geeky product functional descriptions and turn them into meaningful icons.

Heath UptonCEO ENGL

We have worked with Dave on two projects now and he has always delivered very good quality icons. He has a good understanding of our needs and often surprised us with suggestions to visualize even complex issues we never would have thought of.

Uwe RaabRaabe Software

We are very satisfied with the final results, and sincerely impressed with your response and professionality during the process. In the future, we will certainly know where to go, when in need of great design.

Kristian SkarbøLingit

We have been working successfully with Dave for 17 years now and have been delighted with the results! Some of our icon requests involve depicting complex technical concepts and we have found that, not only does he grasp and interpret our requests but he manages to provide clear and attractive images.

Andy TindaleCEO DesignBuilder

Our customers send more compliments regarding appearance changes - generally new icons - than they send for our wonderful functional enhancements. Hence, I order new icons from you for every major release.

No challenge is too difficult

I have built up years of expertise in making icons for a vast range of applications. Perhaps you think it might be difficult to translate your functions into understandable icons – that’s never the case.

I have a background in science, technology, and software engineering as well as graphic design, so it’s not a problem if your project is complex or scientific – I speak your technical language.

How We Work Together

Step 1 - Define

First we discuss what you need. What are the icons for and what are your expectations? A list of all the required icons is a great start, with short descriptions if the meaning is not obvious. This lets me put a quote together, so you know the price before we start. There’s no obligations and usually no need to make any payment up-front.

Step 2 - Design

Next we look at the overall style of the icons. Perhaps you have an idea of how they should look, or it’s necessary to follow corporate guidelines. If the style is more open then I will present you with a small set of your icons made in a few different styles. Your feedback ensures you get just the right look and feel.

Step 3 - Create

Now it’s time to create all the icons. You are still in control and communication between us is important. I will send you batches of icons to preview, so you can suggest any changes. This continues as an iterative procedure until you are completely happy. I wouldn’t want it any other way – would you?
