March 6th, 2008 10:38 amSome great artwork in there – but many are more like Illustrations not Icons.
- 6
March 6th, 2008 10:39 amThe quality of these icons is absolutely amazing. To fit so much detail in something so small takes a special skill.
As a side note, it reminds me a little bit of some artists I used to work with who created some amazing WMBP (wireless bitmaps – suitable for mobile phones) with just black pixels. Absolutely amazing stuff.
Thanks.

March 6th, 2008 11:25 amThose “sticky icons” are a rip-off of my EMAIL ME icon set.

Past icon collections have been a great help adding that little zing to our applications, these ones appear no different. I especially like the versions of the Apple Mail icons.

January 26th, 2010 12:46 pmYou may want to rephrase this post as 35 really incredible free for non-commercial use icon sets.
Really annoying to spend 10 minutes looking for an icon that I think is free only to find that of the 3 I found all required payment or link back.
Don’t appreciate the bait and switch
