Mikons! What a great idea

Mikons.com has got to be one of the better ideas I have seen in a while. It is essentially a shockwave app that lets a user create his/her own personalized icons. Hence "My icons". Since myspace and other such sites have been turning average web users into designers and developers I can see this idea really taking off. The idea of a bunch of untrained icon designers out there should make for some interesting results.

I also have to say that the UI at Mikons is top notch. Great feel, good flow and an overall great experience. Particularly like the speech bubble icon they use in the header. I work with speech bubbles a lot at my job at Eurekster and I have to say it is a unique look to this now common symbol.
