Hi all -

As I had no idea where to post this, I decided in the lounge since it’s a bit off-topic and quite relaxing (no deadlines attached). I was looking into EE’s Website and Designchuchi (http://www.designchuchi.ch/) and I love the Icons used throughout. After a major Google search for good icons out there, I’m still very dissapointed with my findings. Hence, the questions: Anyone know any good icon factory out there?

http://www.iconshock.com seemed to have a motherload of icons, but then again, not slick enough.

Should I be rolling my sleeves and get down and dirty in PhotoShop myself?

Cheers to a good day !

Here’s a good one I just found - Great stuff!

Thats a nice site I’m saving that one. I don’t do much design work but I found these the other day

Free Icons

Not bad for free

I use the Silkicons (famfamfam.com) on almost every project. Pure 16x16 32bit .png goodness.

I have a massive download folder on my computer with loads and loads of icons in that I have collected over the years but a few really good places to start would be :

Bright

Milky - 8 Parts to this one!

Iconlet - Find Icons

Iconfinder - Find Icons

Hopefully those should keep you busy for a while! 😉

Best wishes,

Mark

whoow 😊 - thanks tons - I’ve been searching and searching - now I’m going to play around with these.

Cheers and thanks for the tips.

Not free, but Dan Cederholm’s Stockholm icons are really fantastic, especially the Mini set.

I think Smashing Mag did several write ups on Free icons.  Yep about 4, right here.

Surprisingly http://www.istockphoto.com has some great icons on their roster.

Yeah there is no doubt the icons are nice on iStock but they are getting more and more expensive by the day! I love almost all the stuff on there but I’m starting to look elsewhere as the price is starting to get ridiculous! Damn getty!

Yeah I know, I haven’t checked iStock in awhile and just noticed the price thing today…and you only get about a dozen of icons - if that…good stuff however!

I just love the stuff on there, but a company that has the cheek to charge their UK customers more than their US customers is going downhill fast!

I just started saving icons, brushes, fonts etc. I would recommend subscribing to the following sites as there are regular resources that come up worth downloading and saving as well as numerous other good tips and resources.

@ Emily: ahh, that’s a bummer really!

@ Sean: thanks for sharing these links!

I make my own in Illustrator or I buy them from Istock.
