(Entertainment-NewsWire.com, September 15, 2014 ) London, UK -- As the news of the release of iPhone 6 broke on the 9th of September, Icons Mind took the initiative to launch their range of iOS 8 supported icons. iOS 8, the firmware that the iPhone 6 and the subsequent models from Apple will run on, is slated to be the biggest firmware release by the makers.
iOS 8 comes with a host of new updates, the most interesting of which is the freedom developers will have on web and app development. Many development tool providers were taking notes of the anticipated iOS 8 and Icons Mind has already launched their iOS 8 supported icons. Tal Revivo, the CEO and Founder of the firm, states:
"As soon as the news broke out that the iOS 8 will extend the usability of web application development, we realized that there will eventually be a market for our icons. From that point on, we started adding iOS 8 icons to our portfolio that already features iOS 7 and Android ready icons."
The last thing a developer wants is making individual icons for a new firmware. Leveraging on that, Icons Mind offers an extensive range of Retina display icons in grid systems to support various web designs and application development. Here is what Tal Revivo has to say about the iOS 8 icons specifications:
"What we offer is a collection of icons that comes in all file formats. Be it AI, EPS, SVG, PSD, CSH, or PNG, our icons support all formats without compromising pixel quality. Our icons are based on a grid system of 30 pixels each, which allows developers, especially xCode developers to completely customize these icons according to their web and app specifications."
The icons market overseen change over the past few years since the increasing popularity of smart phones. The market today is focused on flat and parallax icons that can be easily integrated into web design, graphic design, and mobile app development. While Icons Mind is by no means the first in the iOS 8 icons market, it could however leave a long lasting impression on developers who need high end icons that are customizable and support multiple formats.
The iOS 8 ready icons from Icons Mind will support the screen resolution of the iPhone 6 while integrating seamlessly with iOS xCode. Norbert Kucsera, the digital artist at Icons Mind, says:
"Retina display and xCode integration were the most important factors during the iOS 8 icons development. It took us weeks to realize what changes the iOS 8 could potentially bring. At the same time, we started developing glyph icons that come with the pack to support developers and designers on their projects. What we have now is a collection of 2,086 icons in 53 different categories, a one of its kind!"
Icons Mind operates from London but provides icon solutions worldwide to all types of businesses. In a heavily competitive industry, Icons Mind has gained competitive edge with comprehensive customization of their icons.
iOS 8 promises to be the biggest Apple firmware ever, and that brings good news to the UX and UI developers. As the market grows, new solution providers will integrate their existing packages with the iOS 8. For Icons Mind, that seems to be a non-existent issue as they seek to leverage on the success that the iPhone 6 receives through sales.
