50 Fresh Useful Icon Sets For Your Next Design

Advertisement

Beautiful and free icon sets always come in handy. Used properly and moderately, icons can be helpful to provide users with memorable metaphors and illustrations that would provide a visual support for otherwise unspectacular text blocks. For instance, in web-applications memorable icons can be very helpful as they can make it easier for users to memorize how to perform some specific task or where to find some specific functions.

This large collection of recently released icon sets is supposed to help designers improve their designs on their web-sites and in web-applications. All icon sets are free. Please read the license agreements carefully before using the icons — the license can change from time to time. The icons provided below may turn out to be useful and helpful in corporate designs, portfolios, blogs, magazines and in Web-applications. Please feel free to suggest more icon sets in the comments to this post.

    Thank you very much!

    Nice to have all of these icon sets in one place. The one icon set I hadn’t seen before (On Stage Icons Set) results in a 404 error. Any chance anyone could post the correct link? Or is there just too much traffic at the moment?

    Keep up the good work, and thanks for all the fun links within various comments as well.

    Thanks for the great resources. The Polaroid icon set was my favorite, but they spelled “StumbleUpon” wrong :(

    You also mentioned any icon sets we would want to see. I am interested in icon sets related to various types of media. I am a multimedia professor, and my students are always looking for these icons for their portfolios. We need icon sets for graphic design, web design, video, sound, animation, 3D modeling and game design. Have you seen a set that includes all of these? Thanks.

    But the set of 172 final flag icon set doesn’t include all the flags, please view world flag icons(37 mainly country flag icons) and extension of country flag icons(7more country flag icons) to download complete flag icons.

    I’ll like to see an iconset with the different artistic “medias” such as:
    The analouge medias:
    acryllic painting, oil painting, watercolor painting, aquarelle, pencil drawings, caryoun drawing, ink drwing, and
    The digital maedias:
    Photoshop painting, flash, drawing, illustratori illustrations, corell-drawing and so on…

    And make both the digital and the analouge medias have the same overall look, så they can be used on the same website to showcase your projects in the various artistic medias… Such as my own site: Line of Design (danish)

    First of all, Smashing Editorial, please address comment #116 and give Mathilde her due credit if in fact you’ve forgotten to. Secondly, GREAT collection! I could literally spend hours just mining your site for gems like this. Perhaps days. Collections like these are very helpful and useful to my design work. Please keep them coming. And MANY THANKS to the designers who put so much time and effort to creating such beautifully made icons! I’m trying to bookmark your sites so I can go back and hunt or PayPal links to donate for your time.
