Simplicio: A Free Icon Set
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 Simplicio icon set. The main motivation behind the design was to create a simple, even minimalistic set which can fit into every project. The set contains 78 free icons in .png and .ico including AI 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- and .ico-formats in the resolution 128×128px. AI-sources are also included in the package. This icon set was designed by Neurovit from Turkey especially for Smashing Magazine and its readers.
Download Icons For Free!
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.
- Large preview (jpg, 0.3 Mb)
- ICO + PNG files + AI sources (2.3 Mb)
Thank you, Neurovit!
You want to showcase your work as well?

One of these days, I would love to create an icon set for Smashing mag. I’ve done several for my own use, but never for mass consumption. What a great idea!
- 8September 2nd, 2008 12:13 pm
OMG, that cup of coffee is UGLY!

Smashing Rocks! Thanks!

The colors could benefit from a bit of work for my own personal tastes, but the icons themselves are pretty hot. I especially like the simplified approach to some of these. I’ll definitely be checking these out the next time I need some icons. Thanks for sharing the set! MakeDesign,NotWar

Ooh, very clean and nice! Thank you so much.

Bout time son. I love icons, they make me want to click 4 ads on your page.
- 19September 2nd, 2008 4:19 pm
Wow, my surname is the name of the icon set, very cool.
They look like small stickers. (That’s a compliment).
- 20September 2nd, 2008 5:03 pm
Incredible set. Excellent.
- 21September 2nd, 2008 6:44 pm
icons, icons, icons…..
- 22September 2nd, 2008 7:09 pm
did you really just post the download type as a .rar –what a jackass. Nice crap frosting on a beautiful cake. Now I will not use them because I do not have time to install shit to open rars. Nice customer focus
- 23September 2nd, 2008 7:18 pm
I like them very much. Thank you SM!
- 24September 2nd, 2008 7:53 pm
great download. simplicity is great
- 25September 2nd, 2008 10:24 pm
I can’t open this download – it is a .rar file and Windows has offered me two options that cost money. Doesn’t seem like a good way to fold up a file that’s supposed to be free?
- 26September 2nd, 2008 10:53 pm
Wow, these are awesome. Will see if I can use them somewhere.
- 27September 2nd, 2008 11:28 pm
Great that other people want to make icons for Smashing Magazine – take heed guys ;-)
The icons are nice and clean which is normally what I go for but I don’t see a use for them in my projects. Thanks though!
- 28September 2nd, 2008 11:32 pm
don’t these icons somehow perfectly fit to google’s chrome browser color invironment? good work, nice and fresh new approach.
- 29September 3rd, 2008 1:02 am
I have a question on the license…
Can I use these (and other smashing mag free icons) as part of a CMS template that is distributed a) free, or b) commercially?
Thanks.
- 30September 3rd, 2008 1:11 am
thank you
- 31September 3rd, 2008 2:33 am
tooooooooo..nice…………….
- 32September 3rd, 2008 4:11 am
@Stuart (#29): these icons are absolutely free. You may use them as a part of a CMS template that is distributed free or commercially.
- 33September 3rd, 2008 4:53 am
It’s great that Smashing mag releases great icons but you really should pick a “real” license like MIT, BSD, Creative Commons, Public Domain, GPL etc. Something that is more “clear” to users than that sentence you now use.
- 34September 3rd, 2008 5:38 am
Very good
- 35September 3rd, 2008 6:01 am
Love it!

it would be nice to choose svg as the vector format, since it’s supported in almost every vector application ;)

Hi friends,
In first place, congratulations, very nice icons. Good job.
At second, I want to make you a question:
I getted you icons and I modified some they and I created others news icons in base to Simplicio Icon Set. I used “my news icons” in the backend of an aplication that use “Bueditor”. This is an open source WYSIWYG javascript editor.May I send “my icons” to contribute to Bueditor project?
Thank you.
