Are there any free icon sites with licenses that don't requite attribution?

  Why is that a bother? Just put the attributions in the part of the site with all of your legalese nobody reads.

    I believe most SVG icon license require attribution to be on all pages that the icon appear in, not just the legalese page.

      Ah, so are there any sites that don’t require ridiculous attribution? ;-)

        If you're going to be using work that someone else did, free of charge, the least you can do is agree to their attribution requirements. If not, you're more than free to go and design your own icons. Or can you go and pay someone to design icons. Complaining about "ridiculous" licenses that people put on their free stuff, seems pretty rude to me.

          there's different applications of these icons, and if you're not willing to recognize that, then don't come at me about free use blah blah blah credit. if i'm wanting to use icons like Fontawesome or some such that are part of the UI that function as buttons or whatnot and something much more than just there to be pretty, expecting an attribution byline under everyone is just never going to work in the sense of a UI. if you're an icon maker, surely, this is understandable. Fontawesome doesn't require the attribution per use or per page[0]. So it is totally doable with out sounding like some self righteous know it all on the interwebs. Now, if you're using a giant icon as the focal piece of the art on your page, then the layout does absolutely allow for immediate attribution of the graphic just like photos.

            You're always free not to use them, and then no attribution is required. I don't understand where this apparent sense of entitlement is coming from? Do you not agree that people are free to license their work however they please? Do you think that you should just be able to use anything anyone makes without paying the authors any heed?

              Please, go back and re-read this thread. I never said use without attribution. Take a breath and step off your soap box for just a minute. To recap, my original comment was in support of a reasonable attribution. Then someone else came out with an unreasonable attribution request on every single use of an icon. This led me to jokingly reiterating the original question I responded to with a request for reasonable examples. Then you came at me like I'm asking for free use without credit whatsoever. When in fact, I actually provided an example of something I think of a reasonable license. Not once, ever, have I suggested use for free and fuck a license. You want this argument so bad, you injected that into the conversation.

              People are free to do as they like, including complain about unrealistic licenses.

  The Noun Project has a $10/yr membership that lets you skip attribution (permanently, not just while you are a paying member).

    Do you have a link or discount code or something for a $10/year sub? Looking on their site a yearly sub is $40 not 10.

      Sorry; I posted with old info without checking if the situation had since changed.

  SVGmix seems to include different icon packs with different licenses. Have you looked if they have any with a license that fits your need? For the corporate logo stuff, I don't think you can use any of that at any point. It seems fishy to use trademarked logos of private corporations without their explicit consent.
