Axialis Released Icon Workshop 6.11

If you want to create professional-looking icons for Vista and XP, following closely the look of Microsoft's ones (in fact, there are clear guidelines available for those that want to create icons XP or Vista-style), you can either use Photoshop or a similar program, combined with a serious amount of design skill, or grab a specialized program, which is less expensive and maybe also a bit easier to use. One of the best icon creating program for Windows is called IconWorkshop, comes from Axialis Software, and got a new version this weekend...


If you're new to this program, then it's enough to tell you that IconWorkshop can create icons for Windows and Mac from scratch, or based on an existing image. To help you as much as possible, the producer introduced a library of graphic objects that can be used as you wish, allowing you to create different icons in a blink of an eye.

To keep up with the industry tendencies, IconWorkshop offers full support for Windows Vista icons, as I mentioned above, and can also export your work in a variety of formats, if you consider necessary to use a high-end graphics editing software to retouch your work.

Unfortunately, the official page wasn't updated with news about the latest release, so all I can tell you is that the current version is 6.11, with pricing for Corporate Edition being $69.95, and a Personal Edition valued at $49.95. Of course, a free trial version is also available, and you can grab it from here.

At last, if you didn't notice, the official download page still shows the current version as being 6.10, so we are bringing you news as hot as possible once more!
