Mel Gibson and his long time business partner Bruce Davey launched Icon Productions in 1989. The two met in 1980 when Bruce was referred to Mel by a business associate. A few years later, when Mr. Gibson was putting together "Hamlet," he asked Mr. Davey to come to L.A. to work with him and so Icon was born Since then, the company has developed an imposing portfolio of pictures including:

Hamlet,
Forever Young,
The Man without a Face,
Maverick,
Immortal Beloved,
Braveheart,
Anna Karenina Fairy Tale:
A True Story,
Payback,
What Women Want,
We Were Soldiers.

This spectacular journey was highlighted early in 1996 when Davey co-produced and Gibson directed the epic period drama "Braveheart", which picked up five Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director.

In 2003, Icon Productions produced "The Passion of The Christ", the top-grossing film worldwide during the first six months of 2004. In June they won their first Gold Reel Award. Nowadays, Icon Productions is divided into three branches: Icon Productions Inc. (Santa Monica, CA), Icon Entertainment International (Los Angeles, USA // London, UK) and Icon Film Distribution (Sydney, Australia).
They produce and distribute Films, TV series, Music, DVD and Video. Createanet has had the pleasure of working with all of the worldwide divisions of Icon Since early 2002 and has provided most of the official film website for their releases during that time.

A company highlight for Createanet was the production of the official web site for the Passion Of the Christ in 2003/2004. Createanet was also responsible for the hosting of the site which required a robust network as the site attracted 54 million unique visitors a day during the build up to the release of the film.
