If you are just looking to serve the developer market, then you will end up settling for a flat fee or hourly rate. I generally pay $250 for the icon (both sizes).

The only other option is if you want to team up with a programmer in terms of starting a company. That would make you a partner with an equity share in the business. So, you would probably work with one product (or suite) and I imagine that you would be designing it as the thing gets updated. You would do this for "stake" in a company. But, that is a big commitment.

Wow, I didn't expect icons to be that high. I thought maybe 50 bucks or so would be good lol. But thanks for all of the information guys. This has been really helpful. When I get back from a course in New York City, I'll definitely start to discuss things like these with others on the forums. Thanks again.
