    Some amazing Icon Sets are missing? Let us know!- You ask.

    YES!

    But the icon set I’m talking about hasn’t been made – yet!

    I dare anyone out there to make an icon-set for creative designers. The set should include the following icons:
    - Camera (For: Photographers)
    - Acryllic Brush (For: Painters)
    - Oil Brush (For: Painters)
    - Aquarelle Brush (For: Painters)
    - Crayon (For: Crayon Artists)
    - Pencil (For: Traditional Drawing)
    - Markers (For: Artists who use markers)
    - Ink (For. Ink-artists)
    - Photoshop (For: Artists who use Photoshop)
    - Illustrator (For: Artists who use Illustrator)
    - Flash (For: Artists who use Flash)
    - Dreamweaver (For: webdesigners who use Dreamweaver)

    Others?

    Perhaps also icons for the categories:
    logodesign, print-layouts and so on…
