Free Icon Set for Web Developers: Coded
- eitally 16y agoThey're pretty, but also pretty useless. Besides the bug, cookies, coffee cup, and lock all of them require text in addition to the icon in order to make sense. Even the filetype icons include textual descriptions. They're also too complicated for use in most scenarios (especially the computer icons). Additionally, the package icons won't make sense to anyone who isn't a coder, and possibly not most people who don't have non-Windows experience. Pretty and shiny, but for real work I'll stick with something like the Tango iconset (or hire out custom designs).
- vog 16y agoAre those "free" as in "public domain" respectively "CC-BY(-SA)"? Or are they just "free" as in "freeware, please don't touch"?
- moontear 16y agoFrom the readme.txt: "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 or rented. The set may not be offered for free downloading from websites other than SmashingMagazine.com. Please link to the article in which this freebie was released if you want to spread the word."
- noarchy 16y agoSo, free as in beer.
- jrockway 16y agoFree as in beer that you can only consume at the brewery.
- vog 16y ago"Please link to the article in which this freebie was released if you want to spread the word." According to the previous tight conditions, it's hard to believe that the author really wants those icons to be widespread.
- trustfundbaby 16y agoHate to look a gift horse in the mouth, but I don't think they're very good looking at all
- redstripe 16y agoThey're nice, but 25 is too small a sample to be used for a consistent theme. Here are two sets I discovered recently. They are mostly 16x16 and 32x32 in size. http://p.yusukekamiyamane.com http://p.yusukekamiyamane.com Fugue - 3000 icons, CCA license http://www.fatcow.com/free-icons http://www.fatcow.com/free-icons Fatcow hosting - 1400 icons, CCA license
- stingraycharles 16y agoIn addition to these two, the popular Silk icons set should not be forgotten: http://www.famfamfam.com/archive/silk-icons-thats-your-lot/ http://www.famfamfam.com/archive/silk-icons-thats-your-lot/ It seems like all these icon sets are somewhat compatible, they have a similar style. I wouldn't be afraid to mix and match icons from these sets together, so that makes a pretty large collection of icons to use.
- Griever 16y agoWow I've been using the famfamfam Silk collection forever now but these are a welcome alternative. Thanks for the link.
- mahipal 16y agoHere's another one of my favorites: http://glyphish.com/ http://glyphish.com/ Glyphish - 200 icons for mobile apps, CCA
- rbritton 16y agoIt's also worth noting here that you can pay $25 to get the set of 200 and another set of 80 in both bitmap and vector formats without the CCA license.
- iconfinder 16y agoYou can find both Fugue and Fatcow icons + many more here: http://www.iconfinder.com/browse/alphabetic http://www.iconfinder.com/browse/alphabetic
- treeface 16y agoNice set, though I typically find what I need on http://www.iconfinder.com/ http://www.iconfinder.com/
- cdibona 16y ago"The set may not be resold, sub-licensed or rented." and thus incompatible with all open source licenses.
- dmazin 16y agoCan someone provide an example of someone actually using a coffee cup icon?
- SupremumLimit 16y agoCaffeine (http://ubuntu-tweak.com/app/caffeine/ http://ubuntu-tweak.com/app/caffeine/), an app that inhibits power saving mode on Ubuntu, uses a coffee cup icon.
- huertanix 16y agoNice, but I prefer my cookie icons to be chocolate chip.
- jrockway 16y agoNot sure what you would use these for. Also, why is Python spelled out normally, but RUBY is spelled like an acronym? And where is Perl?
