June 18th, 2009 9:55 amThis is great! Thanks for the set of icons.

June 18th, 2009 9:58 amNicely done Andy. Can you explain what your process was in selecting which icons to design?
- 5
June 18th, 2009 10:10 amThank you all. I appreciate your kind words.
@Chris Wallace
No process – I’ve started with a home and then one icon led to another. I still have other drafts which were left behind.

June 18th, 2009 10:52 amAnother set of boring icons. How many Home icons do we need?
- 11
June 18th, 2009 10:57 amnothing special, but cute.
not sure that it should be on the SM.. - 12
June 18th, 2009 11:00 amWould be nice to get the .eps files for these icons to match them to anything we need to fit them to. Change colors, bigger size… blend them. Whatever.
- 13
June 18th, 2009 11:03 amAh, I wish there could be a good 16px*16px file type icon set (PDF, ZIP, …) in the same vein.
- 14
June 18th, 2009 11:04 amnice, thanks for the icons.
- 15
June 18th, 2009 11:09 amAwesome! Many thanks.

June 18th, 2009 11:27 amThe icons look awesome, thanks so much :)
I have one question: I am taking part on a design contest from a paid forum software. So, the design that wins will be shipped as a 2nd default skin together with the paid forum software. Am I allowed to use the icons in the skin I create for the contest?
And am I allowed to mix & edit the icons for this purpose?
Thank you,

June 18th, 2009 11:50 amThe first icon is ugly, but the rest is awesome!

June 18th, 2009 1:06 pmThank you!
- 24
June 18th, 2009 2:12 pmSorry, must have required some work… but it results in a huge “déjà vu” impression…
- 25
June 18th, 2009 3:09 pmWell i like *really* most of your posts a lot & most more interesting than any other on net, but what are those icon-posts for? You really can’t use them in my mind.
Else, best work, smashes!
- 26
June 18th, 2009 3:55 pmThank you kindly~
- 27
June 18th, 2009 6:27 pmAfter so many icon sets, they all seem to blur together…
- 28
June 18th, 2009 6:43 pmI cant find anything better than these set of icons.

- 35
June 18th, 2009 9:27 pmNo… Not so good. Blurred, seen before and plain bad icons. Difficult to use… Not really worth the bother…
Thanks SM though… This is just a slip?
- 36

June 18th, 2009 11:56 pmnice one. quality!

June 19th, 2009 12:30 amNice icon set – useful in a wide variety of project. And on top of it, it’s free.
I really think that when commenting on freebies, people should drop a line with ‘good job’.
Before posting comments like ‘where could I use this?’ or ’seen better/this before’ you should take into consideration the work it’s been put into making this set of icons. Free icon sets are a tremendous help for programmers who don’t have the skills to easily create icons or for designers who don’t have the time to make them.Again, Andy keep up the good job ! And thanks!
- 42
June 19th, 2009 12:41 amGood Work Andy!
Too many inconsiderate people in this day and age :(
Keep up the great work!
- 43
June 19th, 2009 12:43 amThanks Andy for icons…these all are added into my collection.
Designers always Love Free Icons. - 44
June 19th, 2009 1:19 amThanks! Very nice!
- 45
June 19th, 2009 1:26 am@Jonas – can you point us to the free set of icons that you have designed please? I would love to see your work as it must be excellent to give you the moral high ground to criticise others.
Can’t believe people put in the effort to moan at a free set of icons. Don’t like them – don’t use them, but have some manners and stay quiet.
@Andy – thanks for putting in the time and being generous with your work. I am sure all reasonably minded people appreciate it.

June 19th, 2009 1:57 amVery nice icons, thanks for sharing :)
- 47
June 19th, 2009 6:08 amWow, these are great! Thank you!
- 48
June 19th, 2009 6:24 amVery nice, but why does the Flash icon use the old Macromedia logo and not the new “Fl” abbreviation like the rest of the Adobe software?
- 49
June 19th, 2009 6:33 am@Ashburton – I think that the icon with the old shape is more relevant than the simple FL.
- 50
June 19th, 2009 9:22 amThis is the icon pack I’ve been waiting for from Smashing. Something simple, clean, and usable in multiple situations.
