Office Mouse Icons Set
By Smashing Editorial, November 17th, 2008 in Freebies | 34 Comments | Forum
Today we are glad to release Office Mouse Icons Set, a set of 15 unique icons, in .png and in the resolution 128×128px. The icons are designed by Niki Brown, especially for Smashing Magazine and its readers.
Download the sets for free!
You can use the set for all of your projects for free and without any restrictions. You can freely use it for both your private and commercial projects, including software, online services, templates and themes. The set may not be resold, sublicensed, rented, transferred or otherwise made available for use. Please link to this article if you would like to spread the word.
Motivation behind the design
As usual, here are some insights from the designer himself:
“The set was inspired and designed based on my pet mice that live in a little cage in my office. Hence the name of the set, the office mouse set. They keep me company and make me smile when I am freelancing or blogging late into the night.
The set was designed from a quick sketch and then quickly transfered into illustrator where all the magic happens!
The icon set is free to use for personal and commercial uses - I just ask that you don’t resell the icons. Please credit Niki Brown if you use them.
Last But Not Least
We are constantly looking for creative designers and artists. You may not know it yet, but we may feature you in one of our upcoming posts.
If you would like to release a free high-quality font, a Wordpress theme, Photoshop brushes, a Drupal theme, some wallpapers or an icon set, please contact us. We would like to support you (both financially and with the broad readership of Smashing Magazine).
