Mikons!?
October 14th, 2006
Mikons!? What on earth is a Mikon? Well I had no idea when I first heard about it but now I’m an addict.
Mikons is the brain child of Mark and Kenna Smith. The website has a built in tool which lets you create cool icons with very little effort. You can then share your creations with other members of the site - very much like flickr. It’s not all fun and games though, the Mikon Machine (as the site creators call it) is the most advanced online vector drawing tool in the world.
I knocked up the above icons in about 10mins. Give it a go yourself on the Mikons website, or click my images to see if I’ve added anything new to my gallery.

Dave,
We’re delighted that you’ve discovered Mikons and created some of your own personal icons! We appreciate any feedback you have on the site, the Mikon Machine, and what you’d like to see next from Mikons.
Also, would you mind if we mentioned you in our Blogger Talk section on the site?
All the best from the Mikons team!

Thanks for the blog post on mikons. I like your notion of mikons being akin to flickr for icons. I am grateful for your kind words.
Many Thanks -

We have an online, vector based drawing tool at ZCubes (http://www.zcubes.com). Ours is browser-based, though, and paint/draw is only one of the many tools we are developing. We are still in beta but are pretty pleased with the way things are coming along. Check us out some time!
