Skype icons on exhibition

By My status Teller on July 27, 2005 in Skype around the world.

"Skype" and "art" are not words we've seen together before, I think. But there's an exhibition in Tallinn, Estonia right now where among other things Skype icons are on display. This exhibition called "Personality" itself is organized by Estonian Graphic Designers Union and its aim is to show off latest local graphic design. It's not very large venue but certainly appealing for anyone interested in the topic. There are number of cool fonts on display, some of them really clever, actual advertisements and more art-oriented pieces of work. If you know a little Estonian then you can [read a review](http://www.ekspress.ee/viewdoc/59A81E9FEEBA5B34C225703F004C20EC) by biggest local weekly newspaper.

Skype icons at exhibition

I asked Priidu Zilmer, who is the author of Skype icons to give a little background to the whole thing.

**How come Skype got to show off its iconography on this exhibition?**

I was asked by a representative of Estonian Graphic Designers Union to present my recent design work (of any kind). I have been working on a few fonts recently, but have not managed to finish them yet. So I thought why not show the work that has taken all of my time for the last year instead and proposed to display the icons I have made for Skype. They were all happy with that.

**Any other graphic design by Estonian authors that so many people see every day?**

No, not that I know of. I hope someone can prove me wrong.

**What will be Skype's next art project?**

It's a surprise. But we'll let you know when it happens ;)

If you happen to be in Tallinn then find the gallery on Pärnu avenue, exhibition stays open until 31st of July. Below is the whole set of icons on display at the exhibition. Enjoy!

I agree that the icons are great, but I think there's a little typo:

It’s not very large venue but certainly *appalling* for anyone interested in the topic.

Hi,

just installed on my laptop a USB phone downloaded the software and purchased a credit for Skypeout. This all works very nice!

What I lack is the database within Skype for telephone numbers I will use from Skypeout. As a business traveller this is what I need!

Best regards

Frank

I would like to mention that despite the fact that you have already announced 0.017 euros for greek mobiles, it does not work, and it still charges 0.21 euros per minute.

I look forward to hearing from you soon

kind regards

These icons above look pretty cool, but the smileys are still pretty horrible I think... those guys at Yahoo know how to make cool smileys... Any plans for a new smiley-range???
Keep up the good work though! Your calling function rocks!

skype è molto bello e comodo ma c'è qualche italiano in giro?

Happy birthday! Skype is just great. I use it to talk to my brother in CA (I live in Costa Rica) and to my sister when she travells arround the world. Now, I'm mmaking friends online.

Yet, as an alcoholic in recovery, I think it woul be great that skype can hold conferences more than five person's. It would help the AA community a lot. Think about guys! Don't let us down!

Ha Skype is more convenient than any cyber phone I used!
Hope the webcam function can be added soon~

iamcharlie7 | Thursday, Aug 11

Skype is wonderful and so much less expensive than having a regular land line. My only problem is this: how in the heck do other people from regular, non-Skype phones call me on my Skype account? It would make my life much easier.~thanks!

piepes:
I disagree completely. Skype is not shit. I clicked on the link you have there and it's irrelevant.

penguindelicious | Friday, Jul 21

The icons are really cool. But Why one of the icons is named (emo). What this mean ? I like because it's my name Emo :P
