From http://www.eggheadcafe.com/free_graphics_icons/default.asp Free Corporate / Business Graphics, Icons, and Clip Art Sponsored By: EggHeadCafe.com and Lokas Software EggHeadCafe.com is providing you with an array of business graphics, icons, and clip art that look great in your ASP.NET datagrids, treeviews, listviews, toolbars, etc. No license fees, no royalties, and no restrictions for use in private or commerical software/web applications. Best of all, the graphics have transparent backgrounds. Professional, cool-looking icons that look great can increase your software sales tenfold. Like the icons you see? Perhaps you should know that these (and 5396+ other) icons were created by Lokas Software team. The icon set displayed above is free, and this should give you an idea what kind of outstanding artwork you get when you ask for your own custom set of icons or graphic elements designed by our staff artists. We at Lokas Software know of cases when software sales jumped from 13 to 150 copies a month after we changed buttons in the interface. Yes, it's true - we are not in the DOS era any more; functionality is still important, but graphics is critical. Most software looks merely 'pretty good'. Provided your software offers the same functionality as your competitors, customer's decision to buy or not to buy will be based on looks. Sure it's unfair, but you can get this unfair advantage for your programs for an absurdly low investment. Since Lokas Software employs non-US artists who often make an hour the same amount it costs you to buy BigMac, you can get a major makeover for your software for 100 dollars or less. PKR Internet, LLC has modified these icons; feel free to use these under the original license instead of the GPL at your option.
