More Symbols, Buttons and Icons For Free
December 3rd, 2006 in Graphics | 69 Comments
We continue to collect best freeware and stock symbols, buttons and icons. Here are few sets we’ve stumbled upon over the last few weeks.
IconCool collects Icons for Windows XP. There are 16 icon sets, which can be downloaded for free. Most of them include original icons from Microsoft.
14 sets in .PSD-format for image editing in Photoshop. Themes are Documents, E-Mail, User, Weather, Folders, CDs, Books, Bullets and further toolbar-icons.
The Twotones Miniicon-Set is also available as a Photoshop-file in .psd-format.
The Gallery 2 Web Icon Set, created by Paul Armstrong, includes 75 Mini-Icons. It is licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL).
The icon collection Riot presents 40×40 und 21×18 .png-Icons
Web Control Icons Set doesn’t offer exceptional icons, however they might be just what you’are looking for developing a simple and user-friendly web-application. Public Domain icons are available in three sizes:
Yellowpipe offers nice icon sets for MAC, Windows and Linux. Particularly interesting are Icons in Windows Vista, which will be officially released in the beginning of 2007.
Grey, but professional and serious - 40 Icons provided by e-lusion.
Toolbar Icons by Matt Ball
Mini-Icons, is it possible to create smaller icons?

Footers can be a place where a designer can let his creative juices flow a little more freely. Christian Watson shows 76 excellent footer designs. More footers.
Ross Johnson discusses 8 forgotten fonts you may use in CSS. Among them are Palatino Linotype, Century Gothic, Copperplate and Gill Sans — apparently, these fonts are installed on a variety of operating systems.
How creative can a table of contents be? Designobserver presents Thirty Tables of Contents. The collection includes excerpts from the books by Philip Larkin, Philip Roth, Paul Rand and Jan Tschichold.
