Project Icon Set For Free Download
Over the last months we’ve heard numerous complaints about the lack of quality in our freebie releases. We are aware that our readers have high expectations and we try to do our best to meet them in our posts. In this post and in the following one we release two beautiful professional icon sets that will hopefully meet your expectations and will come in handy in your projects.
Project Icon Set
This icon set, designed by Navdeep Raj and released for Smashing Magazine and its readers, contains 18 beautiful icons related to project management. The set includes the icons address card, bar graph, calendar, clock / time, conference device, contact, documents, draft, mail, marker, milestone, notes, portfolio, project plan / gant chart, search / find, sitemap / flowchart, todo and user / resource.
The files are transparent PNGs, and vector Fireworks source files are included as well. As always, the set is completely free and may be used for any private or commercial project without any restrictions whatsoever.
Download the set for free!
- download the set (.zip, including Fireworks-sources, 2.5 Mb)
- release post on Dezinerfolio
We express sincere gratitude to Navdeep for his great work. Please let us know in the comments if this release meets your expectations. And if not, please let us know what we could improve in the upcoming releases!

April 27th, 2009 6:58 amComplaining about free? Sounds like a bunch of losers to me… Maybe they should make something awesome others can use for free.

April 27th, 2009 7:26 amThese are great icons!
Does “no restrictions whatsoever” mean that I can use them in a template (e.g. template for sale on themeforest)?
(SM) Yes, of course.

April 27th, 2009 9:23 amAwesome icons set. Lets see much more of these kinds of icons, and much fewer silly acorn icons. The acorn icons are cool, but I can’t even guess at a site that would need them.

Aaron
April 27th, 2009 7:15 pmLack of quality?
Do readers have any clue how long even either the simplest wordpress theme or icon set takes to develop? Hours of time. And the designers are basically giving this stuff away for free.
Seriously, start IP banning all the idiots that complain about the quality of the freebies.
(Note: complaints about ARTICLE quality are still as valid as ever.. you guys have a reputation to uphold)

Elody
April 28th, 2009 12:18 amVery interesting set, but not all the icons have the same angle, and some of them like the Search, ToDo and User/Resource Icons are not as detailed and stylished as the other.
But I really 100% enjoy all the others (I love the James Bond Adress Card !) that I will definitly use in my projects.
It’s just my subjective critic, that I can give to another Web designer, we all need fair critics to improve and get better, day after day :)
Thx again !

That has to be the STUPIDEST comment I’ve read in quite a while.

May 9th, 2009 2:40 pmI had the same problem as flesh in comment #50. I appreciate this freebie, but it was provided in such a way that if you extract it in some XP machines, it becomes impossible to delete some of those files without some comprehensive method that I have yet to discover. If you have received many complaints about this and know a solution to be able to delete the files, please let me know about it.
ricardo chiappe
May 10th, 2009 12:34 pmSeems nice. But feels that after the first 6, the quality and idea of those icons starts to fade.

nate
June 23rd, 2009 7:56 pmhaving the same issue in vista, the files are not unzipping fully and then leaving partial files and folders which will not delete. Does anyone have a solution to this? Or can someone provide a cleaned-up version of the file? not trying to complain about a freebie, but corrupt files is a bit lame

December 11th, 2009 3:17 pmto delete

anonym
February 28th, 2010 5:09 amFirst of all, thanks for the files, great work.
But if any other has any problem deleting the folders, try use your cmd promt and browse to the folder with the files and user the comand
dir /x
this will show the file names as ex: CLOCK~1
use this name when deleting:
del CLOCK~1

To delete the file, follow the instructions posted here:
http://blog.dotsmart.net/2008/06/12/solved-cannot-read-from-the-source-file-or-disk/
*Hint: To get to the root of the directory in Command Prompt, type “cd..” (without the quotes) twice. You should then have “C:\>” in a new line to begin the command.
