2. Paid approach- Candy bar from http://www.panic.com/candybar/ which is an icon management app

"The icons contained in these sets are intended for personal desktop use ONLY." Which means you cannot use the Pixel Press icons for your website or in applications. Just to be clear and to prevent people from getting into trouble ;)
