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?
We are regularly looking for creative designers and artists. You may not know it yet, but we might feature you in one of our upcoming posts.

September 2nd, 2008 12:06 pmOne 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!

September 2nd, 2008 1:26 pmThe 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

September 2nd, 2008 7:09 pmdid 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

ElisabethQ
September 2nd, 2008 10:24 pmI 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?

September 2nd, 2008 10:53 pmWow, these are awesome. Will see if I can use them somewhere.

September 2nd, 2008 11:28 pmGreat 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!

September 3rd, 2008 1:02 amI 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.

September 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.

September 3rd, 2008 4:53 amIt’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.

October 1st, 2008 5:48 amHi 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.
Vitaly Friedman & Sven Lennartz
October 1st, 2008 5:54 am@aaromnido: sure, they are absolutely free, you can use them for whatever purposes you want.

August 16th, 2010 8:43 amThe one thing I love most about authors who share their stuffs is the not-so strict sharing policies.
I’ll definitely use it for the backend of my opensource php project and to some web site template I will create in the future.
Cheers! + respect!
