I'm working on updating the Mercury theme and I thought I'd get some icons for it, but MMicons seems to have turned into a... sneakershop..?
Anyone know why and perhaps where the icons can be found?

Caesar2099 · Mar 26, 2004, 12:30 PM

I've been waiting for someone to ask that, I deleted the Mercury icons a while back but now I really want 'em again. I went to MMicons and was quite perplexed myself, a sneakershop?

I hope someone still has those icons...

I snapped them up early last year when the site was running, think it was the windows version all in *.ico or was it png can't remember but it's on one of the BBX cd collection. 17meg for the entire set.

Jaos · Mar 26, 2004, 12:45 PM

I have quite a few i'm not sure if I have them all.

BBX CD collection ???

Wasn't it U BBX behind MM icons ??
I thought it was somehow....

All the Mercury (X)/Platinum stuff I had collected since last year aswell as some of psd's I done for Walls, WindowBlinds and such.

The last I heard from Mikkel was quite some time ago - I sent him the design specs for our MIRAI theme some time ago and never heard back (ah - it all suddenly makes sense these delays, no?)... it's really odd that he just kind of dropped off the planet like that (and no the theme didn't suck that bad that he opted out, I'm pretty sure). I've sent you an email Max with a link to the entire collection. We should probably still hunt down Mikkel and seek his permission to include them all (there are literally hundreds of them here).

Last I saw from him he was in the middle of redoing everything, "new site, new icons, new style", for sometime in 2004. He even had a nice little splash page for it.

Don't know where the sneaker shop thing came from. Hope he hasn't decided to go the way of Pixeljerk.

Nope... Mikkel pumped them out based on my original OS9 design, I just 'endorsed' them is all.

I did a little web surfing and I think this is what you're looking for

I've got ALL the MM BBX M icons if you need any of them, but it looks like they are all online.

NetworkShadow · Mar 26, 2004, 02:55 PM

Hay on that note, does anyone have any of the BBX M desktops? I only have the one off the Jag theme's dmg.

Fonzie · 03:25 PM

I could try calling the shop to hear their relation to mikkel madsen since we are both danish. I don't know if it would have any effect though.

edit: I just found out that www.pixeleer.dk is also Mikkel Madsen- sorry if you knew already.

Holigen · Mar 26, 2004, 06:04 PM

Cant wait for BBX Mercury... weve been apart too long... :'(

Fonzie · Apr 11, 2004, 09:16 PM

Not to intrude on your privacy, but I have sent of an e-mail to Mikkel Madsen to have him tell us what's up with both www.pixeleer.dk and www.mmicons.com - I also wrote an e-mail to that sneakershop asking what's up. Just thought I'd let you know. carry on...

Fonzie · Apr 12, 2004, 05:11 AM

As noticed in a previous post; I sent an e-mail to www.sneakershop.net/dk and here's what I got:

Hej Allan,
Mikkel er vores gode ven og eftersom han ikke har tid til at lave ikoner lige nu, spurgte han om han ikke bare skulle redirecte til vores side.

Translated to English, it says this;

"Hello Allan,
Mikkel is our good friend and since he does not have the time to make icons right now, he asked if he could just redirect to our site."

No word from Mikkel himself though. Maybe it will come at a later time.

I admit it. Before a few days ago, I had never got around to trying BBX Mercury until it was too late.

But now, I have tried it. And it is good. I can't believe I've been missing out for all these months!

bbxstudio · Apr 12, 2004, 06:34 AM

I finally got in touch with Mikkel! Everything's okay, he's just linking to a friend's site until his new stuff is up. He's just had a wickedly busy 36 months (I can certainly relate to that!)...

Fonzie · Apr 12, 2004, 09:03 AM

soooo, no one noticed my post ?? Or are you just avoiding me

MMICONS · Apr 14, 2004, 04:40 AM

hehe..

..I have just been working my ass off for the last year or so, been moving to a new city + new job, so I did just not find time to update my icons.
But when I get more time on my hands, I will get back in the Free Icon game ones more..

Ps. Max if you need the PSD version of MMX Mercury icons ..no problem just mail me and I will send you the hole thing =)

Take care & Best Regards,
Mikkel Madsen

Fonzie · Apr 14, 2004, 05:06 AM

uh uh, he's here!!!! Heya Mikkel. Good to hear from you. I sent you a mail at your Pixeleer adress. No need to reply now.
