Pushing the pixels for yourself of course. So here's my take on the smaller sizes of an [Apple iPad](http://www.apple.com/ipad/) icon, called iPixelPad in the sizes 48px, 32px and 16px. Everything drawn pixel-perfect from scratch. Heck, even the wallpaper. They also come in two different versions for each size: with a matte highlight shine and with a harder gloss. And drawing the homescreen icons was quite funky and if you know the standard iPhone icons I bet you can guess what icons you can see here and in the icon files, at least in the 48px and 32px versions: ![ipixelpad-homescreen-zoom.png](/media/ipixelpad-homescreen-zoom.png) The homescreen icons pixels in the 16px version needed all more vivid colors to get them distinguishable from the wallpaper background so they're a bit different from the other sizes. These are the times I wish I could modify just half a pixel. ## Download The icons come in various formats: iContainer, ICNS, ICO and PNG files for each size.
