Very cool! I initially thought it was just color swapping, but the percentages section in particular is fantastic.<p>Led by the CTA arrow: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;i.imgur.com&#x2F;odtBsuE.png" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;i.imgur.com&#x2F;odtBsuE.png</a>, I clicked on &quot;Illustrations&quot; first, which I actually think is the weakest example of cool customizability. Percentages and Words are both more compelling IMHO.

I&#x27;m not clear on the licensing here. Are all files under the &quot;illustrio license&quot;, and why does the summary that pops up seem to say something different than the detailed license text? I would be much more comfortable with a standard license being used - say, the Creative Commons licenses. At least let users filter their search by license terms, unless they&#x27;re all under the same terms in which case that should be clearer.<p>I like the idea of being able to customize, but is that simply changing the colors? Or is it the ability to commission edits to the work? If it&#x27;s just color changes I have trouble seeing the value; if it&#x27;s substantial edits to the work then the pricing looks too low and the license terms are too restrictive.<p>Basically, what does this offer me that the Noun Project doesn&#x27;t, except far more restrictive licensing terms?

This is a very good idea. Are you planning to make it marketplacable? So that there can be creators of SVGs as well.<p>Also, right now, when I look at the pricing section, only an empty modal dialog shows up (el capitan, chrome, ad blocker off).

I&#x27;m getting the following very abrupt error (which I assume is caused by a content-blocker) and then the site fails to load.<p><pre><code> AlgoliaSearchJSONPScriptErrorError: &lt;script&gt; unable to load due to an `error` event on it </code></pre> Tweaking content-blocking fixes this and all works fine, but just to report that the alert() popup is a bit abrupt.

&quot;All packs are valid for 12 months.&quot;<p>What does that mean? Can the illustrations only be used within that 12 month period?

I can see myself paying for this to improve my next presentations, the value proposition is really good!<p>I&#x27;m not sure of the business model for big customers though, the gap between 100 and 5000 downloads being huge. Maybe unlimited downloads would be better, maybe not, only time will give you an answer.

I was interested until I realised you can&#x27;t get the icons in SVG. Why use raster images for icons? SVGs are smaller, crisper and always the correct resolution.

Nicely done! Can actually start using this service immediately ;)<p>How easy would it be for Illustrio to take requests for specific illustrations from the community?

We clearly did not expect such a traffic from HN. The download requests are stuck for the moment, sorry for that! We&#x27;re working on it.

Nice.<p>On signup - there is a field labelled &#x27;company&#x27; that validates as an email address. I&#x27;m guessing the label is wrong.

This is like Clipart, but better, and for the internet. Loving it!
