If you follow GNOME's designer Jakub Steiner, you couldn't possibly miss his recent posts featuring Blender as icon design tool. Is GNOME team moving away from Inkscape? We asked Jakub for comments.

I have a LONG history with Blender - I wrote some of the earliest Blender tutorials, worked for Not a Number and helped run the crowdfunding campaign that open sourced Blender (the first one on the internet!). I founded BlenderNation in 2006 and have been editing it every single day since then ;-) I also run the Blender Artists forum and I'm Head of Community at Sketchfab.

Good article. Thanks.
Good article. My previous job was working at a military defense simulations company. There I worked on GUI design, and created many of the icons in blender. I found blender to be a quick, and fun way of making 3D styled icons. I think it's cool others are doing the same. :)

Guys this is not possible! The comp is clear like a pure water drop : )
Sorry but it must be a problem on your end. It works fine here.. I can't make a better link :)
Thanks, anyway - this is probably about the policy of the Company I work. May be the issue is coming from there. Thank you anyway! :)
Hey Guys - same things again. I've try to reach the same article from my personal laptop, same.. . issue
There is Bad Behavior plug-in installed on that host, and it doesn't like your IP. I upgraded the plug-in and temporarily disabled strict mode. That's probably a hundred spammers a day passing the check, for one real interested reader, but I think I can handle this :)
Thank you Alexander! Now is work perfect - I will be 100% up to date with all Blender news :))) Nice article - Thanks again!!!
Jakub uploaded the HEadphones today to BLend Swap Enjoy! :D
