A look at things to come: Some Eye Candy while you wait.
We’re still have a little while to go before we are ready to launch. But we thought it was only fair to share with you a few of the things we’ve been working on. In this post you can see preview’s of some of the things we’ve been working on, ready for the launch. As you will see we’ve been quite busy getting some things ready for you, including Free Icons and some free & premium WordPress Themes. Hopefully it won’t be too long before we start making these things available to you, but to keep updated you can always subscribe to our RSS feed.
Function Icon Set
One of the first things that will be available upon launch will be the release of our free icon set. We’ve been working hard to create icons that are usable and look great. As you can see there are a lot of useful Icons included, but this is just the tip of the ice-burg, there are a lot more to come. One of things we’ve done is created a proper thumbs up and thumbs down icon, normally people just create a thumbs up icon and flip it, but if you think about it, the way you’re seeing it is impossible, which is why we took some time to create a realistic, back of hand, thumbs down icon.
Sketch’d WordPress Theme
We’ve been working closely with WordPress Designers to get a few themes together. One of the first we’ve worked on is this “grunge” style theme, and you might agree it’s quite unique. Although described as grunge this doesn’t mean its completely messy and over-done. We’ve tried to keep a nice balance to the design and, as you can see from the preview, it’s actually has quite a simplistic beauty. You can view a larger image to see a few more details.
Update: This Sketch’d theme is now available, check it out here.
News Style WordPress Theme
I’ve struggled to do this theme justice in this preview. But I don’t want to give too much away on this one yet until we’ve done a little more work on it. The idea behind this is that it’s ideal for a content heavy website. The magazine/news style allows for a lot of content to be displayed and a very “explorer friendly” experience. As you can see from the closer details we’ve tried to keep things clean, light and open. We will post more about this when we’ve done some more work. So feel free to subscribe to our RSS feed.

The site is looking very slick. It’s great to see you have a lot planned for the future. Good luck, I look forward to what you have in store.
Hi Brad, Thanks for your kind words.
Very interested in these WordPress themes. Can you give some indication as to whether the release is a matter of days, weeks or months away.
Thanks.
Subscribing to RSS Feed now…
@AndrewE – The theme’s are being coded as we speak. So it’s a matter of just working out the bugs and polishing the finishing touches. I think we could be talking a matter of days, or a week or so. I’ll check and I’ll get back to you.
I’ll do a post as soon as the theme’s are available so that you will get the news in your RSS feed. – Thanks for your comment!
Thanks very much indeed for the insight. Looking forward to it. This is going to be very popular.
Hi Liam. Do you have an update on the News theme ETA? Is today the big day or is the designer still working on it? Sorry to be impatient, just eager to start work on it. Cheers.
@Andrew – It’s expected to be finished this week now, towards the end of the week. But again this isn’t definite I’m afraid, we appreciate that you’re eager to get your hands on the theme, and we’ll try out best to make sure you won’t be waiting too long.
Thanks for your support. Any more questions please don’t hesitate to ask.
Things are looking fantastic, Liam. I’ll be looking forward to launch!
@David Myers – Your comments are much appreciated
I feel like I’ve been “coming soon” for far too long now, but hopefully in the next week or two we’ll be live.
Thanks again.
Love that Sketch’d theme so far – really good work there.

There’s a woody & papery feel to it I think which helps build some faint texture.
