Many of you might have already read this somewhere, but IconBuffet, the place to go when you're in need of high quality icons, has started a really interesting campaign. If you're a registered member, you'll receive one set of icons a month for free. But that's not all – damn, this sounds like a tv shop program –, they also allow you to deliver that very same free set to any other 5 members. You see, they don't give the same set to every one. In fact, they choose like 6 sets a month and deliver them randomly among their members.

Once you have your free icons, they're royalty free so you can use them in both personal and commercial projects (if you credit them). You just can't resell them or redistribute them on their own. So hosting the file and posting a link is out of the question, since it's illegal according to their license agreement.

So this is my idea... I have 5 deliveries left, and I have got Oslo Finance. If you have any others, we can trade, thus taking advantage of this great initiative. I'll probably do this every month so that I don't end up with free deliveries sitting in my inbox going to waste. I'd like to share the wealth. So if you'd like to exchange, here's what you can do:

If you're not a member already, signup for an account. Then, go to the feedback page and send me your name and email so that I can send you my Oslo Finance. I'll reply to that email address with my info so that you can send me yours.

Damn, this really feels like trading cards.

I already received Taipei Night Market from João Craveiro. Thanks dude. So if anyone wants this set as well, I have 5 more deliveries. Go ahead and ask. I have more icons to share. Thanks to Bryan I also have Shangai Tech.
Also, instead of sending me an email, you can leave a comment if you insert the email address you used to register your account at IconBuffet. Just let me know which ones you have and which ones you want. Guess what, Leto Kauler has sent me 4 new sets: Olso Atmosphere – my favourite thus far –, Taipei Buddies 1, Manhattan Night Life – sweet – and Shangai Tech Vector. I'm thankful. I'm sure some of these will definitely be useful for some future projects. Specially both from the Oslo family and Manhattan's.
After that, IconBuffet sent me the one set I was missing – Taipei Buddies 2. So, now I'm giving them away. Just leave a comment with the ones you want and they're yours, provided that I still have deliveries left.
