<p>Sorry for being quiet for a long time. During the last few months, we&#8217;ve worked hard on the redesign of <a href="http://www.iconeden.com" title=" IconEden.com ">IconEden</a>. Why redesign? You might ask. Frexy, the premier design studio behind IconEden, is really serious about design. In our dictionary, redesign means solving existing problems. We always bend over backwards to give our visitors a better online experience. Our goal is to wrap the site with a beautiful look, making <a href="http://www.iconeden.com" title=" IconEden.com "> IconEden.com </a>more product-centric and improving its usability. In a nutshell, our design should essentially reflect our fast growth!</p>

<p>This morning I looked at the calendar and was surprisingly excited to see that Frexy already turned four. On August 25, 2005, I registered the domain and started a wild journey: starting my own design business. The idea was simple at that time: I wanted to devote my time to doing what I love: creating beautiful websites. Now Frexy has transformed from a soloist into a design studio with five people.&nbsp;

<p>Yes, it’s Milky, our simple, clean and lovely vector icon set. It is sadly announced that now Milky has come to an end, completing virtually 4 months of its up and running for free, with 9 separate parts and receiving around more than 200 comments, feedback and appreciations. </p>
<p>All feedbacks and requests from our users and readers have had a weighty effect on the development of the Milky set. Thank you all for your time and care! </p>
<p>Once again, we are very sorry that the set is now ended. However, Milky was added with extra 11 icons timely before its end-of-life announcement. For those who come late to get the set, you can now download the whole of it with only one package here at <a href="http://iconeden.com/icon/milky-a-free-vector-iconset.html" title="Get Milky">IconEden.com</a>.</p>

<p>Hi folks,</p>
<p>It is a great excitement for me to write this article today. Yes, I am so glad to announce one of our special production launches at <a href="http://www.frexy.com">Frexy Studio</a>,<a href="http://www.iconeden.com"> IconEden.com</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.iconeden.com"><img src="http://frexy.com/min/images/uploads/iconeden2.png"  alt="Icon Eden, premium stock icon provider"  /></a></p>
<p>Few months earlier, Vu Tran and me have rushed into a new project relating to icon design for Frexy Studio. This project actually was not completely fresh at all because besides web crafting service, Frexy Studio has also been unobtrusively provided the icon design service for two years now. Until early this year, I decided to make upgrade to this icon design realm so that it would become a specific service channel, focusing on icons and related services. </p>
<p>And today, with its full-fledged identity, IconEden.com came into sight, in readiness to deliver crisp and beautiful royalty-free stock icons for applications, websites, user interfaces. Also, IconEden.com is where we share our growing free icon collection with community.</p>
<p>So, make a toast and cheers!
</p>
