Ask HN: Where to find good icon sets?
Hey guys,
Just wondering if you guys have any good resources for where I can buy or would find good web icon sets? I generally use themeforest for templates but would like to be able to customize a little more with more icons. Any help would be appreciated :)
- appwork 15y agohttp://dryicons.com http://dryicons.com has some good ones and offers custom service.
- jon914 15y agoThe Fugue set is extensive and is my goto set. http://p.yusukekamiyamane.com/ http://p.yusukekamiyamane.com/
- jarek-foksa 15y ago- Some of the best icon designers are publishing their free sets on Smashing Magazine: http://www.smashingmagazine.com/tag/icons http://www.smashingmagazine.com/tag/icons By following the links under each posts you will stumble upon additional commercial sets. - There is ThemeForest's sister website called GraphicRiver.net which focuses on stock graphics. - Also don't forget about istockphoto.com and fotolia.com, besides stock photography they are also offering many icon sets.
- jtardie 15y agoI think Helveticons is a popular set. Otherwise, I'm not quite sure.

- iconfinder 15y agoThank you for recommending Iconfinder :-)
- cmontgomeryb 15y agoThankyou for Iconfinder!
- eswat 15y agohttp://www.tabsicons.com/ http://www.tabsicons.com/ and http://pictos.drewwilson.com/ http://pictos.drewwilson.com/ are my current goto sets.
- dstein 15y agoThe sets from http://famfamfam.com http://famfamfam.com are what a lot of sites use, they're excellent, but only 16x16.

- slindstr 15y agoI've been using http://www.thenounproject.com/ http://www.thenounproject.com/ a lot recently.
- aysar 15y agoNever heard of it, but looks like a really neat project though!
- bnycum 15y agohttp://pictos.drewwilson.com/ http://pictos.drewwilson.com/ (as previously mentioned) http://pictofoundry.34orange.com/ http://pictofoundry.34orange.com/ http://glyphish.com/ http://glyphish.com/ http://glyphicons.com/ http://glyphicons.com/
- proexploit 15y agoI really like: http://www.iconsweets.com/ http://www.iconsweets.com/ & http://www.iconsweets2.com/ http://www.iconsweets2.com/ but most of these are good suggestions. Download them all and start keeping them in an Icons folder and use what you like with each project.
- iconfinder 15y agoYou could also just bookmark the two icon sets here: http://www.iconfinder.com/search/?q=iconset%3Aiconsweets http://www.iconfinder.com/search/?q=iconset%3Aiconsweets http://www.iconfinder.com/search/?q=iconset%3Aiconsweets2 http://www.iconfinder.com/search/?q=iconset%3Aiconsweets2 It's probably easier.
- proexploit 15y agoNot only did I not know they were available on IconFinder, but I would still bookmark the author's site as it's easier to get a look at the icons and they've got a PSD in the download that's very helpful to me. Your site does have individual downloads but 90% of the time I want them all.
- watchdogtimer 15y agohttp://icons.mysitemyway.com/ http://icons.mysitemyway.com/ has several nice icon sets.
- tfitzgerald 15y agoMy favorite for a while has been FatCow: http://www.fatcow.com/free-icons http://www.fatcow.com/free-icons. 2000 16x16 and 32x32 icons.
- iconfinder 15y agoThey are all indexed and searchable here: http://www.iconfinder.com/search/?q=iconset%3Afatcow http://www.iconfinder.com/search/?q=iconset%3Afatcow
- maguay 15y agoI really like using the Pictos icon font (http://pictos.drewwilson.com/ http://pictos.drewwilson.com/). This icon set has already been mentioned, but it should be noted that there are 3 icon image sets and then the font. The font can be used as an @font-face font on your site, which is a lightweight and very scalable way to add icons to sites and webapps. Plus, having the font icon in Photoshop makes quick mockups so easy!
