Not bad, although a bit generic :)
- 6October 27th, 2008 2:05 am
Looks nice, but what do you need these icons for? Do you write about social platforms all day?
- 7October 27th, 2008 2:08 am
@Andreas: if you are a blogger, you may use them to increase your traffic by asking visitors to support you in social media sites.

How many of these social icon packs do you think the world needs???
Seems to be an easy way to get a great backlink for every designer.
Sit down for an hour, create a template, paste the social bookmarking logos in and thats it.
Boring… - 9October 27th, 2008 2:20 am
The word “social” is spelled wrong in the preview ;)
Anyways, nice icons. They are really useful for me! - 10October 27th, 2008 5:54 am
nice work, will add them to my site
- 11October 27th, 2008 6:14 am
Another quiet day at Smashing Magazine? There are too many of these social icon sets featuring on the site now. Worse still, this one’s a bit of a lazy example that was probably designed expressly for free adversising. V-boring.

Lovely set well done, nice work.
- 22October 27th, 2008 10:38 am
I just don’t believe these are the quality that smashingmagazine usually holds, not a fan.
- 23October 27th, 2008 11:53 am
really cool.
- 24October 27th, 2008 6:10 pm
With all due respect to the icon designers and Smashing’s editors/authors, these “social” icon sets are a massive waste of bandwidth. Thank you to Aravind Ajith, but perhaps your time would be better spent making something other than fadworthy icon sets.
- 25October 27th, 2008 9:23 pm
If you love a post/site only you will bookmark/share, isn’t it?. Basic idea of these icons lies there.. I know already there are enough social icons out there. But this is something I was looking for when I redesigned my blog. I found nobody has released these kind of ‘heart shaped’ icons before.. So I just skipped off the idea and used some other icons. Later I thought if I design icons in this idea, there would be somebody who will be happy to use them.. Anyway, thanks for all the comments.. =)

Parabém pelo excelente trabalho!!!!

Great work!
Someone have the psd-file to that icons? :-) So it is eassier to add more social networks. - 34November 6th, 2008 8:09 am
Looks great!
I was just wondering. We’ve got a lot social bookmarking and rss icons for download, but the question is, “How many of these are really being put to use by other designers?”
- 35November 11th, 2008 5:01 pm
Excellent work by you and we will be using these in our websites to honour your work
- 36November 21st, 2008 7:24 pm
Thanks. I feel there is so much ‘love’ and giving on this site. Great work. Thanks again.
- 37January 31st, 2009 12:08 pm
I use these on my blog. I’ve looked through all these comments, and no one has mentioned that the 64px set does not contain a Digg icon, and the Digg icon in the 32px set is only 16 x 16 px. Can the designer post a corrected set? Thanks in advance.
- 38April 19th, 2009 11:49 pm
Very Nice Collection
As “Dot” mentioned Digg Icon is missing. Please post Digg icon for 64×64 size
Thanks - 39August 30th, 2009 12:05 am
