We are always looking for creative and talented artists and designers. Once we find them, we ask them to cooperate with us and release something for free. We provide them with the full freedom to showcase their professionalism and express their creativity. Every release helps to make the Web a nicer place. In fact, the results are quite often pretty impressive. You can find our previous releases in our section Freebies.

Today we are glad to release a icON Stage icon set. The set contains 49 free vector icons including PSD which can be useful for both corporate and personal setting. You can use the set for free — without any restrictions whatsoever.

The icons are available in the .png-format in the resolution 128×128px. 100% pure shape-based layered PSDs are also included in the package. This icon set was designed by Deziner Folio especially for Smashing Magazine and its readers.

You can use the icons for private and commercial projects, blogs and web-sites for free, without any restrictions whatsoever. However, you are not allowed to sell or redistribute the icons without author’s and Smashing Magazine’s permission.

That’s the best thing I’ve ever seen :) I don’t know if I’ve had too much caffeine today, but I just loved that comment, cause I felt the same way.

Omg… Some of them are just copies of works that you can find on istockphoto.com

Have a look at the purple guy… Mhmm? (And this only ONE example!)

Same for the icons you are featuring in your Sideblog… Just a copy of the Satin-Series you can find on istockphoto!

Jack (August 27th, 2008, 11:50 pm)

@kathi: sure… I bet Apple copied from Satin-Series too -> Link [www.apple.com]

Marc (August 27th, 2008, 11:53 pm)

=> Kathi “Have a look at the purple guy… Mhmm?”
Well, if you make a Word icon, it will look like a copy of a Microsoft icon!
And this podcast icon (I think) looks alike as a RSS icon would!

And thanks for the great ressources, guys !

Kathi (August 28th, 2008, 12:32 am)

Omg.. Well yeah…Sorry…Bad example :’)
But there are still some icons that remind me on the satin series…

And the stuff in the sidebar still is a copy *nod*

By Vector, one would assume these can scale without pixilation … but they don’t, unless I am mistaken.

Anja (September 1st, 2008, 11:58 pm)

Nice icons! I have one request which might make me seem like the weird feminist (which I’m not), but I would really appreciate a girl buddy icon. I see lots of icon sets with specific “man icons”, but I’m sure lots of people would have use for man AND woman icons.
