At the beginning I would like to quote Michael:
Something that started out as a doodle on my iPad grew into a cascade of late nights studying compass concepts and exchanging ideas with designers and good-folk alike. Sometimes you just stumble upon a fun notion and you gotta run with it, in this case it was as simple as the idea of why the Safari icon always had to depict that one type of Compass. A few months later, and I’m finally wrapping up 10 fun new compass icons for you guys to put in your docks.
And boy they are gorgeous; stunning artwork. Congratulations to Mr. Flarup!
You guys better head over to Pixelresort and download the icons for free.
