Flickr Find: Icon Words

flickr.com — It would seem that the good folks at the Iconfactory have discovered Flickr, and you know what that means: Icon Words! They have started a Flickr group featuring all sorts of words that one can spell using only the icons in your Dock. To the right we see a little Zune love, and if you check out this photos you can see a few more examples.

  • se7en11, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I love the irony of all these using the IE "e" for their errr 'e'.

    Hmmm...a little too ironic. Oh yeah I really do think. It's like raeeein on.....
  • negativefx, on 10/12/2007, -6/+9So being able to spell words from icons that look like letters is something that is platform dependent and only cool if you use a Mac?

    Where has this been all my life??? Now I can really harness the power of my computer!
  • Jaymoon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2...And you can't just line up icons on your desktop, regardless of the OS?

    This is beyond lame.
  • koregaonpark, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4I'm sorry, but I think this is the last thing I would ever do with my free time. Seriously, GET A LIFE. Go out, take a dip in the pool, go for a walk, meet friends, if you don't have any of those talk to someone at Starbucks, if you watch BSG dream about Starbuck. Making words with icons is the lamest thing you could do with your limited time on Cob... I mean earth.
  • alej744, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1What if you don't have a pool, feet, friends, or a Starbucks near you?
  • underrun, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Even if I were to install this "stardock" I don't think it would make me want to arrange the icons of ***** programs to form short words.
  • jgreene777, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3@negfx - but it does require a dock. go to stardock.com and get their version if you have winblows.
  • vcleniuk, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Now this is what a GUI is for.

  • CupBeEmpty, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Hell yeah it only looks cool on a mac! I can't even imagine what "iPod" would look like spelled out in the start menu.

    All I know is that that cool mac guy would totally lord this over poor Mr. Hodgeman.
  • negativefx, on 10/12/2007, -6/+5Wow, this is stupid.
  • WoWKodos, on 10/12/2007, -5/+4Let me guess... you use Windows right?
  • Brian0908, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1windozesux... my favourite
