This is not a technical question, but given that there are a few iPhone developers on here I figured I'd ask. Are there design firms advertising services for designing custom iPhone icons?
A:
A quick google found SoftFacade and FastIcon. Though, I don't think you'd need to look for only "iphone icon" artists. If you can find and icon you like, it's pretty easy to give it the iphone look.

I'm sure that you can find plenty on the web, just google it.
Icon Factory and IconShock are one of my favorites, but there are individuals that can make you what you need for a price, just ask them, take a look for example at the icons made by Made By Sofa company, I do love them, and I would suggest you to contact them directly, they made pretty famous icons on the market!
but for the iPhone, you will need a 75x75 pixels icon in PNG format, the round curves are made automatically by the iPhone OS.
you can test it using a webpage, just add this line of code in your HTML page (Head section):
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="myIcon.png" />
and bookmark it to the homepage with an iPhone or iPod Touch

Surely you mean 57x57 pixel icon instead of 75x75. Also, you will need a 512x512 pixel version when you submit your application to the App Store.

I really mean 75x75 pixels :) at least that's the webApps icon size

I'm sorry but you're mistaken. The application icon for a SDK application and the apple-touch-icon are 57x57 PNGs.http://developer.apple.com/safari/library/documentation/InternetWeb/Conceptual/iPhoneWebAppHIG/MetricsLayout/chapter_5_section_2.html

Any graphic designer can make an iPhone icon. There's no specialised skill required.
