Update #14: Glyphish has grown! Now 400 icons
Hello backers! I'm pleased to announce that since launching on Kickstarter, Glyphish has nearly quadrupled in to 400 insanely great icons – each one in two sizes, two colors, and vector format.
They're now used in many well-known iPhone apps, plus some big names like Google, Apple, Facebook, Twitter, WordPress, IDEO and CERN.
If you've found Glyphish icons useful, check out the latest and greatest. Upgrading to the new set of 400 is just $25 – a great investment to make your app or website beautiful.

Update #13: Missed out? Icons available again
If you missed out on the 2x icons earlier, they're available again on Kickstarter for a limited time.

Rob - sign into Kickstarter and click your Messages tab -- the download link should be in a message there. Let me know if that works for you.

Update #11: How to download the icons
Now that the project is wrapped up (thanks for your support!) pretty soon I'll be sending out download links to all backers. You'll get the link in an email message via Kickstarter, like this one.
Please check to ensure that your Amazon payment succeeded - if for some reason it failed, I can't send you the icons! Amazon support and Kickstarter support both have troubleshooting tips.
I expect to have download links sent out over the weekend, but possibly as late as Monday depending on how long it takes stragglers to resolve Amazon issues.
Best,
Joseph

My payment failed for no apparent reason the first time, I just tried it again which did work this time. Is that soon enough to get the icons once you send them? Or will there be a delay in receiving the download link because of the failure?

Joseph Wain on August 7, 2010
Joost - should be all good to go. Emails with download links will go out Monday at the latest.

Can backers get a 'preview' set? Was hoping to use these for some UI prototyping this weekend

Joseph Wain on August 6, 2010
Yes, you can download a set with the basic 130 icons (no 2x size) from glyphish.com. Free!

These icons look great! I love the way they look but I am a little naive.... what do I use the font for? :)

Update #8: Icons ready! Will be sent this weekend
Update #7: Symbol icons ready
These new symbols icons are finally done – and they look good.
DID YOU KNOW:
Project backers get a total of 200 icons, each and every one ready to use in both 1x and 2x size, plus vector format, and absolutely no attribution required for their use. Plus: a sweet Glyphish font!
The set freely downloadable on glyphish.com set contains only 130 icons, and only in 1x size, the usage license requires attribution.

David Kaneda on August 2, 2010
How do we get our package if we pledged $25? Does it happen once the kickstarter project ends?
-
Joseph Wain on August 2, 2010
Yep - within a day or two of the Kickstarter project ending, all backers will receive an email with a download link.

Update #6: The final countdown
Just 7 days until this Kickstarter project ends and the super duper new 2x icons are published. Thanks for all your support thus far; I hope your apps totally rock.
REMINDER
These 2x icons and symbol icons are Kickstarter exclusives -- this is the only time they'll be available! So spread the word, tweet it up, tell all your developer friends.
It's the final countdown!!!

Update #5: Font done, big icons nearly done
Just 12 days remaining.
I'm really excited about the Glyphish font—it contains all 130 icons and the keyboard mapping is very slick. The 2x icons are nearly complete. Just need to get the new symbol icons prepared!
Update #4: Glyphish font nearly complete
Good news: the Glyphish dingbat font is nearly finished.
The very first icons I ever made—age 12, using ResEdit on a Mac 128k—were imitations of Susan Kare's Cairo font. The influence on Glyphish is pretty clear :)
Thanks, Susan!
