On a website of Max Pfisterer, a designer from lovely Stuttgart, I discovered this really, really beautiful pixel-icons. Made in 16×16. Since I love 16×16 so much I directly sensed, that this work of pixelart is far away from the world of icons we are facing every day on our computers, or that cute, cute, cute things we see on computing games.

The design of the pixels here called “Störk Tronic” is so rough and somehow special. Evidently it came from a source, that even designers are not concerned with on a daily basis. Almost instantly I wrote Max a mail. He told me, that this work was made for a customer. The icons are used for a “refrigerated display case” (Kühltheke). He said, and I can imagine, that it was not an easy task to design 256 pixels with one color each (ok, some are animated) to show things like “Messerabstreifer” or “Tropfschalenheizung”. Just look on the icons and take the trip into exotica. Thank you so much!

I discovered the site from Max via the Glam Slam netlabel. He did the corporate design and some artworks for this netlabel. Maybe I should also join with my designing skills?
