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.
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.
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.

Hey guys/gals
Dave here, and welcome to our newest gig with our blog. Me being the resident design-guy at our nifty little iphone dev shop, I spend quite a bit of time developing (drumroll) iphone tab bar icons! I know! Shocking eh?
Anyhoo, we’ve decided to kick off a new feature as a help to the rest of the dev community; Tab Bar Twosdays. Here’s the deal:
1) I’ll release 2 iphone tab icons each week (hopefully on tuesday, that’s kind of the deal, right?). They’re optimized with alpha transparency and should be simple, plug-and-play-easy for you to drop in your xcode project.
2) You can download and use it free and shamelessly in any of your iphone projects. No payment necessary, though tweet and blog mentions are always cool.
3) Profit. Make millions on your app. ALL because of those nifty icons. You’re welcome.
That being said, here are the introductory two icons.

Thanks again for reading, and happy coding!
