April 15th, 2010 1:14 amGreat additions to an already great icon set! Thanks so much
- 4
April 15th, 2010 1:16 amthanks SM, I’ll be using them very soon!
- 5
April 15th, 2010 1:16 amGreat work Oliver. Thanks a lot.
- 6
April 15th, 2010 1:20 amA nice supplement for this icon set would be icons for game consoles and their online services. It’s already a really nice set though.
- 7
April 15th, 2010 1:25 amA nice icon set indeed. And 750 of them as well. Thanks Smashing Mag and Oliver Twardowski, I’ll put them to good use.
- 8
April 15th, 2010 1:26 amThat’s very generous, thanks very much. And a great set of icons too.
- 9
April 15th, 2010 1:31 amMost of these packs now are on iconfinder. I find that there is no reason to download icon packs anymore, unless working offline.

April 15th, 2010 1:32 amwow! very generous, Thanks A LOT !
- 11
April 15th, 2010 1:33 amGreat Collection. Tnx a lot!
- 12
April 15th, 2010 1:33 amEhi, that’s great, really! Thank you man!
- 13
April 15th, 2010 1:51 amVery exciting! Thank you for making these available!
- 14
April 15th, 2010 2:09 amGreat Icon set, only bad thing is the cloud icons, they look terrible like the were quickly put together last minute, apart from them its a good set.

April 15th, 2010 9:07 amKeiron, allow me to quote from Manners 101: When receiving a gift, the gracious response is “thank you.”
- 16
June 29th, 2010 1:02 amI am gracious for the icons, like I said the rest of the set is great but I just dont beleive the few icons I mentioned were up to the standard of the others.

April 15th, 2010 2:14 amThanks. Very nice and useful :)
- 18
April 15th, 2010 2:15 amAm I right to assume we’re allowed to modify them, at least on a small scale? Some are of less contrast/saturation then I’d prefer for my projects, but some quick color correction can fix that I think.
In any case, great set, especially the keyboard ones in particular for me. We all appreciate the hard work!
- 19
April 15th, 2010 2:29 amHi Rizqi,
that’s totally right. The .psd sources are there to learn and customize.
If you modify the icons I would love to see the results! :)
Just sent me a quick reply on twitter (@mywayhome).Thanks,
Oliver- 20
April 15th, 2010 8:15 amAnd thanks for the reply too, now I can start toying with them in peace. I’ll let you know if I come up with anything interesting by twitter, then. It’s great to be able to interact with the artists themselves, instead of just holding an icon set.

- 26
April 15th, 2010 3:03 amGreat! I have searched for a long time for an icon set that contains all icons i need. Now i found a good alternative set to the fam fam iconset. Thank you very much :)
- 27
April 15th, 2010 3:08 amThe detail to your icons are eye opening. thanks for sharing

April 15th, 2010 3:17 amDarf man das Set im kommerziellen Arbeiten verwenden, ohne dass mich irgendwer verklagt?
- 30
April 15th, 2010 3:46 amHallo Tobias,
das kommt ganz drauf an, ob mir die Verwendung gefällt. Wenn es nicht gut aussieht hetze ich meine Anwälte auf Dich! :P
Nein, mal im Ernst: Das Set ist vollkommen kostenlos. Auch in kommerziellen Projekten.
Ich würde mich jedoch immer über einen Link im Impressum o. Ä. freuen.
Viele Grüße,
Oliver- 31
April 15th, 2010 6:42 amDank dir

April 15th, 2010 3:30 amTobias, da musst du mal lesen, was da steht. Kannst die benutzne wie du willst, keiner wird dich verklagen. Aber Hertha ab in die 2. Liga. DIE SCHANDE DEUTSCHLANDS.
- 33
April 15th, 2010 3:35 amWHERE IS UKRAINIAN FLAG?
I BELIEVE THAN COUNTRY WITH 48 MIL POPULATION CAN’T BE IGNORED?- 34
April 15th, 2010 3:51 amDid I forget it??? Really???? Shame on me!
Here it is for you: http://cl.ly/Nzv
Can you forgive me? :)
Best wishes, Oliver
- 35
April 15th, 2010 6:29 amThanks, you’re awesome :)
- 36
April 15th, 2010 12:45 pmof course forgive :)
Thanks for icon
- 35
- 37
April 15th, 2010 5:07 amOh yes it can, posts in caps lock as well :)
- 38
April 15th, 2010 5:19 amI thought exactly the same.
And, LC, 48 million people are not to blame for one guy expressing his WTF in all-caps.
As awesome as the set looked to me at first sight, I was disappointed when I didn’t see my country’s flag. I don’t see a point in an incomplete flag collection.- 39
April 15th, 2010 5:51 amI am really sorry if I missed your country. I really did not want to miss any.
I mean – hey – I even got the Vatican flag there!If I missed one: Please tell me and I’ll provide the link to the .png file when it’s done. Promise! :)
Thanks, Oliver
- 40
April 15th, 2010 6:09 amNo flag for The Bahamas either.
We’re pretty used to being ignored/forgotton by the world, but it still hurts!
>sigh<
- 41
April 15th, 2010 6:26 amOliver, it’s Ukraine here. But I’d say there’s a high chance of missing country of many other smashing magazine visitors – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallery_of_sovereign-state_flags lists twice as much flags.
And yet, if there’s a country without internet connection at all, like North Korea, designers might still want to use it’s flag. - 42
April 15th, 2010 9:07 amThanks so much for all the icons! Great job. Don’t feel bad about missing a country – they’re changing so fast these days it’s hard to keep up. That said, Slovenia isn’t there. How dare you miss out my teenie tiny country with only 2 million people (half of whom seem to have settled abroad) ;p
Thanks again! So generous.
- 43
April 15th, 2010 12:49 pmOliver again thanks for collection, and sorry for CAPS letters :) I just type message and press SUBMIT. My original message doesn’t contain any negative subtext.
- 44
April 16th, 2010 12:28 amI always like looking at the United Nations Member States. These represent (in my simple mind) the countries of the world. Take a look here: http://www.un.org/en/members/ or here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_member_states
You currently provide 94 country flags, but there are 192 United Nations member states – you might want to add them to your icon set.Thanks for your efforts!
- 45
April 16th, 2010 2:52 amHey Dennis.
Thanks for that link. Just perfect to check out the states.
Maybe my set isn’t as finished as I thought it would be.And maybe the fantastic guys at smashing magazine will give me the chance to release an add-on package for the flags.
Keep your eyes open. We’ll see! :)

April 23rd, 2010 2:52 pmMissed the Cuban flag too.
Thanks for the rest of the icons.

Wie kann man überhaupt so viel Zeit für sowas haben?! :D
Nette Sachen auf jeden Fall – danke dir.Beste Grüße

I love your site. Because of the relevant information and easy style, Smashing Magazine is my first choice for web design and web development information.

April 15th, 2010 6:50 amSo much nice icon sets! I’m pretty sure this can will be useful!
- 73
April 15th, 2010 7:28 amThanks to both Oliver and Smashing for this great resource…not only are the icons great but to get all the source files too is just incredible. What a useful and invaluable tool. THX!
I posted these up on my free resource site @ http://resourcehive.com/2010/04/15/the-ultimate-free-web-designer%e2%80%99s-icon-set-750-icons-incl-psd-sources-smashing-magazine/
- 74
April 15th, 2010 7:50 amAwesome – thank you! Saves me from having to hunt down Social Media service icons. And I love that you’ve included the Ghana flag in there – woohoo!
- 75
April 15th, 2010 8:05 amOh. My. Gosh!! Thank you so much! It is so difficult to find icons that I am allowed to freely use in themes and templates. These are great and I appreciate this icon set very much!
- 76
April 15th, 2010 8:19 amExcellent collection. Many thanks for the work put into this.
- 77
April 15th, 2010 8:22 amVery nice. I like generic icon sets. Sets themed around coffee or office chairs or worms are hard to utilize unless you’re working on a site that requires that genre. (Coffee-drinking worms in office chairs anyone?) But generic navigation or “web” icons are nice because they can be dropped anywhere.
- 78
April 15th, 2010 9:13 amThanks, these are useful.
- 79
April 15th, 2010 9:17 amThanks a lot!

April 15th, 2010 12:39 pmFantastic icon set, thanks guys :)
- 91
April 15th, 2010 2:02 pmWhats the point of designing anything in Photoshop? This would be a lot more useful if it was vector and therefore scalable.
- 92
April 16th, 2010 2:49 amCould be true. But when I go and design ‘em in PS on a 48x48px canvas I can assure that the will be crisp and as pixel perfect as I want them to be.

Greetings from the city of Zwandrazbradrjnaw.- 120

April 19th, 2010 1:24 pmAre you kidding ? Ugly icons, no matter how many…

April 20th, 2010 2:22 am@Replicant are you a rebel ? How much cute icons they are ? if you have much fantastic than these, share with us. We want to see your creations. Don’t try to break anyone’s heart in just a joking way. I appreciate Oliver’s hard working and patience to face the comment from the persons like you. 750 is a huge number of icons.
I again appreciate you Oliver. Thank you so so so much.
Afraz
- 130
April 20th, 2010 11:49 pmHey Afraz,
thank you!
In fact I don’t mind to read comments like the ‘Replicant’ one.
I do not want to say that my iconset will please every single reader!If he thinks the icons are ugly he will not be the only one and I am totally fine with that.
But if he would provide a “ugly, because:” I could try to fit his expectations in the next try.
If he doesn’t I don’t care at all what he thinks! :)Bye, Oliver
- 130
- 131
April 20th, 2010 4:59 amslick icons… thx!
- 132
April 20th, 2010 11:16 amI love the icons!
thank you for sharing!
I used the File Icons within my opensource webbased project management programm. After uploading files within the task and comments to the task your file icons will appear :-) superdido!
What I didnt understand is why you didnt make a file icon for zip files?
Is the zip symbol protected ? For it was missing I made it myself.Thank you and Regards
Gido- 133
April 20th, 2010 11:44 pmIs there no .zip file icon??
Really?
Why did I miss that?? ;)Will follow up on this issue.
Or even better: Why aren’t so kind and share your selfmade .zip file icon with the community?Cheers, Oliver
- 133
- 134
April 20th, 2010 11:18 pmUrgent Help !!
I tried so many times from different connections to download zipped psd source files but it stops downloading at 4.6MB or 5.2 MB. Can you please give me another link to download?
Waiting for your response

June 9th, 2010 12:27 pmSilly question, but I see an icon I don’t recognize, either from a faulty memory (which is most likely) or its plain new to me.
The “online services” set (preview 4), green background with a white elephant head. Whose icon is that?
