Iconoir – An Open-Source SVG Icons Library
- christophilus 5y agoMy go-to font is heroicons[0], but this looks really nice. The entire set does have a consistency that is often missing in free offerings. [0] https://heroicons.com/ https://heroicons.com/
- oefrha 5y agoHeroicons is nice (especially when used with Tailwind/TailwindUI) but unfortunately it’s too small a collection. I almost always have to supplement with e.g. FontAwesome.
- rapnie 5y agoI switched to community-maintained ForkAwesome: https://forkaweso.me/Fork-Awesome/ https://forkaweso.me/Fork-Awesome/
- Andrew_nenakhov 5y agoThis is very nice. I mostly use Material Design Icons [1] now, but lately they feel too crude to me, and these Iconoir icons are very lightweight. Still, MDI are very consistent and have a lot of icons now, I think over 4000 last time I checked. Probably, the biggest free set out there.

- 1cvmask 5y agoAnyone here use iconair and their thoughts on it?
- Aardwolf 5y agoI'm wondering about the MIT license for icons: say you print these icons on physical objects, e.g. beach balls, do you have to include a copy of the copyright notice and permission notice somewhere on them, or how does it work?
- gennarro 5y agoConfused by this exact question. Similarly, can they be used in a closed source app or website? Where/how do you include the license?
- klyrs 5y agoIn a closed source app, you can make a 'credits' button that lists the various MIT/BSD licenses that you're utilizing. On a website, you might find it under 'legal' or 'about' etc.

- klyrs 5y agoProbably with a sticker on the object, pointing to a URL containing the full list of licenses.
- otherme123 5y agoI think the MIT license doesn't "infect" the product. You put the license in the software that creates the, say, PDF. But once printed the license doesn't apply. Imagine having to slap the Latex license to every work you do with that software.
- nashashmi 5y agoA few commenters here mentioned they work on creating minimized versions of svg icons. They published a few github pages in this regard. Would love to see them mentioned again.
- daltonlp 5y agoAnd it's on iconify! https://icon-sets.iconify.design/iconoir/ https://icon-sets.iconify.design/iconoir/
- PostThisTooFast 5y ago"designed on a 24x24 pixels grid" They're vector-based, so how are pixels involved?
- kensai 5y agoI personally like Noun Project. http://nounproject.com http://nounproject.com
- mananaysiempre 5y agoThey got rather heavy-handed in recent times, though: all icons are behind a registration wall and an anti-scraping ToS even if the author declared them to be e.g. CC-BY, so while the result is royalty-free I wouldn’t count is as open source. (The website doesn’t call it such, either, so there’s that.)
- vladstudio 5y agoHere's another hidden gem of open source icons: https://phosphoricons.com/ https://phosphoricons.com/ very stylish! P.S. I tried to sell stock icons in early 2000s, hehe. Hard to imagine that now. So many excellent open source vector icons.
- fieu 5y agoHere is an aggregator site I found a while back. Very useful. https://icones.netlify.app/ https://icones.netlify.app/
- otterpro 5y agoThanks, this is very helpful, as I can see all the icons in a single click, without having to go to each github repo for each packages.
- dSebastien 5y agoFor my latest projects I've been using React icons: https://react-icons.github.io/react-icons/ https://react-icons.github.io/react-icons/ It includes many OSS sets and is a breeze to use (with React, obviously)
- schleck8 5y agoThis is great
- jokoon 5y agoGenerally, unicode special characters and emoji are enough. It seems there have been one new unicode version per year since 2014. I wonder how difficult it is to render emoticons with colors.
- mukundesh 5y agoGreat resource of open source icons, wonder how these folks make money ?
- hulitu 5y agoThey look horrible. I would not pay for something like this.
