Hey all, here’s the latest tab bar twosday. Hope y’all are as excited about building awesome apps for the iPad as we are. Anyhow, here are two freebie icons for you to use in your projects. Nothing too fancy, but hey, free is free! Promise we’ll have something much more gripping and cool next week.

Happy Apple Event Eve, everybody! The hype and buzz has been gynormous. I wonder if ANYONE has a big graph pointed at the #apple keyword to see the huge spike in people that are tweeting about it…. anyways, if that someone ever makes an iPhone app to share that data with the rest of us, he/she can use these free icons to share that info with the rest of us.

It’s that time again! TBT is upon us. You know the drill. see icon, take icon, profit.

With that out of the way, here we are.

And there you have it. Enjoy! We’ll probably take a break from TBT this next week for Christmas, but we’ll hit the ground running on 12.29! Stay tuned, and Merry Christmas!

Hey party people, welcome to the latest Tab Bar Twosday. I’m sitting here listening to “Band Of Horses” Radio on Pandora (a must listen) and cranking out tab bar icons. By now I’m sure you all know the drill.

See shiny icon.
Download shiny icon.
Use shiny icon.
Pay nothing, and chortle at your thriftyness.

Seeing as it’s the 12th month, and the 12th tab bar twosday, (and my wife reminds me, the 12 days of Christmas, which is fast approaching) our first image seems fitting with the theme.

Image number 2 is not as fitting, but still quite stylish. Stick em in your xcode project and see for yourself!

There you have it. 12 posts worth of tab bar icons. We’ll be back next week with December’s final installment.

Hi folks, and happy December. Hope your Thanksgiving was as good as ours.

Anyhow, enough turkey talk; lets get to the icons. You know the drill; 2 free tab icons for your iPhone development project (or whatever else you want to use it for). If you do use them, let us know where; it’s always cool to see them in use, and we’ll give your app a shout out in our blog.

With that said, on to the icons

Tab Bar Tuesday

Since it’s 12:20AM, it’s technically Tuesday which can only mean one thing… KIDS EAT FREE AT CHIC-FIL-A!!! Go get some chicken strips!

OH! Also, its Tab Bar Tuesday time! As always, here are 2 free schnazzy icons for you to use at will in your iphone dev projects.

Here are the latest icons. The first is by request from “Rod” who asks for a “Payment” icon of some kind. Hope a “$” sign works for you Rod!

The second is a reminder icon. I could sure use this icon to remind me to post next week’s tab icons…

Reminder

That’s all for this week! Enjoy, and keep those requests coming!

Tab Bar Twosdays the Fourth.

Hello fellow travelers, iPhone devs and hackers. Welcome to this, the 4th installment of Tab Bar Twosdays. Here’s the drill. I pick two random tab bar icons from our vast archive of handy-dandy tab icons, and you get to use them. You’re welcome. As before, these icons are free to use in any of your iPhone dev projects, or wherever else you choose.

Someone asked about why these icons were black and white. Good question! Actually they’re black with an alpha channel for transparency. That’s due to their usage on an iPhone tab bar, where these suckers get stuck. Apple takes these images and applies its own fill effects for inactive and selected states (the grey and blue activated icons) you’ll find on most apps. As a designer, it’s a fun challenge to use this limited pallette to create unique icons that complement an app’s overall look and feel.

Anyhow on to the icons. We’ve gone with a building theme today.

Hello again

Dave here, with the latest installment of Tab Bar Twosdays. Not sure how this works? Basically, I splat 2 incredibly amazing absolutely free tab bar icons. Use them in your own xcode projects if the spirit moves you, or wherever else you so choose.

Anyway, onto the icons.
