These icons should not appear in this blog, but why they are here?

Graphix Icon It seems everybody on the internet were posting them for last couple of days. Check google blog search result pages on "Graphix icons", for example. I will explain what is wrong with this set and why such icons should not appear in this blog.

If we take each and every icon apart from others it will be pretty cool and in high-quality, though a little bit heavy to be used everyday. But, when we look at the entire "set" we see inconsistency. Notice the different folders, icons perspective, color schemes, proportions and sizes. It looks like at least three different quality icon sets were merged.

Unfortunately I don't know who is the author of this set, but would not be surprised if there are more than one. You can notice that from shadowing technique, which varies from one icon to another. I think these icons were somehow stolen but I'm not sure.

Please comment if someone is familiar with the author of each set or knows where we can check original icon sets.

P.S. I'm instantly looking for co-authors for this blog. Send me an e-mail with short story about you and let's highlight the best pieces of icon world together!
