Suite of 300 icons for web and user interface design
- ed209 14y agoGood on you for giving your hard work away. I would make a suggestion though to tighten up those pixels in the demo png, the half pixels are making most icons look blurry http://cl.ly/image/093M0z0z3a2W http://cl.ly/image/093M0z0z3a2W
- adamwhitcroft 14y agoThanks dude. I used tinypng to compress the preview (as it's pretty large) and that can produce mild artifacting.
- neya 14y agoThank you very much for this. The website is amazing, UX is perfect and the content (the icons) is top-notch. I will someday re-pay you for this wonderful favor you've done to the community of designers like us, especially considering the fact that it's difficult to find good stuff without having to attribute the creator.
- adamwhitcroft 14y agoThanks for the kind words! Attribution is optional, but always appreciated :)
- jychang 14y agoOff topic, but you might want to clarify the licence a bit. It's a bit nitpicky, but you did not specify if we can create derivatives (though your intro message about adding photoshop layer styles strongly implies it), and if can sublicence it, etc. You also might want to add some disclaimers that waive any warranty and liability you might have. Try http://www.tldrlegal.com/ http://www.tldrlegal.com/ and pick a licence, if you want to, that might help.
- Kartificial 14y agoGreat effort, definitely bookmarking this.
- tsahyt 14y agoI'd like this to be an icon font.
- adamwhitcroft 14y agoThat's in the pipeline - they take a fair amount of time to get right :)
- fwdbureau 14y agoHow about a css sprite for bootstrap? A complement to the standard glyphicons would be awesome, and if you goal is to see Batch in many designs as possible, that would probably help (beautiful work btw)
- adamwhitcroft 14y agoThat's a great suggestion - I'll certainly do that. A single 16x16 sprite with an accompanying CSS file would be simple enough to knock up.
- tsahyt 14y agoGreat! I'm really fond of the idea of icon fonts and I'd like to use some of those icons on a web project of mine that I'm working on. I shall bookmark the link :)

- why-el 14y agoFantastic work. The website is wonderfully crafted, and the icons are awesome. I really needed this. Quick question, where would one place an attribution to this work? I was thinking at the end of the about page in my application(s).
- adamwhitcroft 14y agoWhile an attribution would be appreciated, you aren't required to include one. If you'd like to however, you can put the mention anywhere you'd like.
- why-el 14y agoPerfect, you got it. Again, fantastic work.
- john-n 14y agoLooks great, quick question someone may be able to answer: in the license he says "[free to use in] any personal or commercial work...Do not redistribute or sell", which is fair enough, but does that restrict use in paid-for apps (such as on mobile devices etc)?
- glennsayers 14y agoI think that means you can use them in commercial applications, but you aren't allowed to sell the icons themselves.
- adamwhitcroft 14y agoSpot on.
- davidw 14y agoThe license terms mean that the icon set cannot be used in open source projects intended for redistribution. Your call, of course, just pointing it out.
- adamwhitcroft 14y ago@davidw - that is meant to refer to not selling or redistributing the icon pack as a whole - you are more than welcome to use it in any open source redistributed work.
- shardling 14y agoI think that requirement would conflict with some open source licenses -- they typically grant the right to redistribute and modify the source code in any way. That would include stripping out everything but the icons and selling them. So if the license requires all accompanying code/assets to be under similar licenses, that could prevent use of your icons. I think that's the case under the GPL? Not really sure anymore. e: After doing a bit more reading, I believe I was wrong. As long as the icons aren't somehow compiled into the binary, there are no license problems.
- gergderkson 14y agoAwesome! Would have paid for them. Donation coming your way!
- polymatter 14y agoHow do you donate?
- adamwhitcroft 14y agoIf you click the 'Download' button you have 2 options presented: 1 - Download the icons 2 - Donate & download the icons
- xakshay 14y agoWould be awesome if its vector art based fonts like fontawesome.
- muratmutlu 14y agoAdam this is awesome, the fact that you refunded people who had already purchased is even more awesome http://adamwhitcroft.com/2012/11/on-batch/ http://adamwhitcroft.com/2012/11/on-batch/ Really great work
- laumars 14y agoTotally agree. It wasn't expected and I don't think anyone would have thought worse of him if he kept the money. Actions like this restore my faith in humanity.
- richardlblair 14y ago+1 for this line: "Actions like this restore my faith in humanity."
- deleted 14y ago[deleted]
- FreshCode 14y agoIt would be awesome if someone made a vector font for these like FontAwesome: http://fortawesome.github.com/Font-Awesome/ http://fortawesome.github.com/Font-Awesome/

- mhd 14y agoLooks rather interesting. Does anyone have any experiences using tools like ImageMagick for batch compositing/coloring/modifying PSD layers?
- waterside81 14y agoUse GIMP and write your own scripts, it's got a pretty comprehensive scripting environment.
- grigy 14y agoThank you very much for this gift!
- digitalengineer 14y agoThanks for the link. Here's 5 Gigabyte free ui/icons/psd interface. http://www.bypeople.com/ http://www.bypeople.com/
- indiecore 14y ago:O I love the Internet.
- joshuahornby 14y agoLegend! Thank you so much.
- creamyhorror 14y agoI...I don't even know how this can be offered for free. This is practically a whole marketplace worth of goods. Simply amazing. Thanks for sharing.
- TazeTSchnitzel 14y agoIt's even free for commercial use, too! Just... wow!
- ako 14y agoNice icons indeed, but amazing? How is this more amazing than Linux, apache, node.js, PostgreSQL, Ruby on Rails, python, .... And mane more. All this software is also free... Just take a look at the Debian/red hat/Ubuntu repository, it is practically a whole marketplace worth of free goods...

- richardlblair 14y agoBookmarked. As a developer with 0 design skills stuff like this makes me feel like I can fully complete my work. I personally appreciate the fact that you did this out of love for your craft and respect for the industry. There are too few of you in this industry my friend. Thank you
- adamwhitcroft 14y agoYou are most welcome - thank you for the incredibly kind words.
- tobych 14y agoThanks! Not to be picky about the punctuation or anything, but I would have thought a comma would be good here: "Each icon is a single Photoshop shape layer, meaning ..." Alternatively, replace "meaning" with "so"? Thanks again!
- isabre 14y agoThank you. The Icons are amazing!
- heriC 14y agoVery generous. I especially like the mit-ish license. I have this theory that permissive licensing will produce more goodwill and credibility. Hope I'm right!
- Graham24 14y ago"If you use Batch in a Dribbble shot, the inclusion of a “Batch” tag would be appreciated so that I can keep a curated bucket." I'm far, far too old to understand this, any clues?
- phaedryx 14y agoSee: http://dribbble.com/ http://dribbble.com/
- rpsw 14y agoFrom Dribbble's About page: Dribbble is show and tell for designers, who share shots — small screenshots of the designs and applications they’re working on. So, pretty much, he wants people to tag their entries with "Batch" when they use icons from the linked set.
- bn097 14y agoNice work, but shame they're not in SVG format. Photoshop files are notoriously awkward to read for Open Source software.
- earroway 14y agoThanks Adam. Beautiful icons.
- OniBait 14y agoNice! I'm a developer with zero illustration talent. Even if I never use these, I donated anyway. :)
- radley 14y agoWhitcroft is also responsible for Climacons (weather icons) which have become standard for many apps. #hatTip http://adamwhitcroft.com/climacons/ http://adamwhitcroft.com/climacons/

- javajosh 14y agoI was happily upvoting adam's new account, and then remembered that this is hacker news: var links = document.getElementsByTagName('a'); for (var i = links.length >>> 0; i--;) {if (links[i].innerHTML==='adamwhitcroft'){var j=i; while (!links[++j].id){}; console.log(links[j], links[j].click())}} If you paste this into WebKit inspector and run it, it will click all of adam's upvote links. Here's a little puzzle - there is one trivial change that will change upvotes to downvotes. Can you guess what it is?
- deleted 14y ago[deleted]
- barlo 14y agoYes, but I would hope it would not be used. This isn't what the point system is about on HN.
- javajosh 14y agoIn general, no. But when someone is so generous, and I want to add to their karma, why put myself through the misery of finding and clicking on his upvotes? Like any tool, it should be used responsibly.
- davidwparker 14y agoThanks a ton Adam! Any chance you can upload a set that isn't in Photoshop format (for those of us without Photoshop)?
- vostrocity 14y agoMany third-party programs can also take PSD's. What are you trying to use?
- abeiz 14y agoThis is amazing!
- chrisngonzales 14y agoThanks for this Adam!
- Ramp_ 14y agoExcellent work. Thank you.
- hayksaakian 14y agoI could see this replacing my bootstrap icons once this gets a CSS file.
- TommyDANGerous 14y agoAwesome, thanks for the sure. Looks great.
- deleted 14y ago[deleted]
- countessa 14y agovery nice - thank you for these
- brianjimdar 14y agoHa, that's pretty cool.
- kamakazizuru 14y agothanks this is amazing !
- kamakazizuru 14y agothanks this is amazing !
- pbreit 14y agoI'd like to see someone provide a free alternative to Glyphicons.
- olalonde 14y agoAwesome 404 page. http://adamwhitcroft.com/gjhfjhg http://adamwhitcroft.com/gjhfjhg

- chrismarlow9 14y agoI hope the creator of the icons is not upset by my forwardness, but I've converted these icons to bootstrap style icons for easy use. Visit https://github.com/chrismarlow9/Batch-Bootstrap-Plugin https://github.com/chrismarlow9/Batch-Bootstrap-Plugin for the project. It allows you to add the icons with pure CSS style (using rowXcolumn) class name. The CSS file isn't exactly small but I did this for the purposes of people making friendly names for icons and expanding on the project (I tried myself but I hate coming up with semantics for technical things. Anyways, enjoy. I simply used GIMP to Greyscale the image and invert the color to white. Transparent the image on your own (or maybe I will later)...
- timmaah 14y agoThanks.. I came back to this post hoping I found find just this. I'll get the size down later, but perfect for development.
- Linford0 14y agoAdam - If there was a way to share your address with me then I would be sending you some powerfully hopped IPA's!
- adamwhitcroft 14y agoThanks, but no I'm not sharing my address on HN.
- adamwhitcroft 14y agoI'd like to thank all of you for such an incredible response to Batch. It has far exceeded anything I could have imagined. While I was asleep, a complete web font was made, a second is in the works, 2 CSS sprite kits were made and someone sent me a Photoshop CSH file. I am completely blown away. I'll spend some time checking these additions thoroughly before adding them to the Batch site. Thank you all, Adam
- peterhost 14y agoThis is an amazing set of icons. I'll make sure I use them and credit you. Your giving this for free reminds me of the biggest problem Freelance artists/developers have : if one's a dev at heart, it's creating that fuels one's achievements. It's the fact that people are using the results. Problem is : how do I keep creating if I can't make a living out of it ? And it's a hard one. I read so many headlines on HN which revolve around "launch a startup!", but never really do more than read them because of one single fact : i'm bloody not, and never will be interested by selling anything, be it cakes, code or my secondhand ipad. I totally suck at marketing cause I totally hate practicing this art (of which i do not doubt the usefulness). It's taken me 40 years to realize that : 1) i'm not interested in sales/marketing 2) doing it takes me down a path of depression every single time i try and i'm better of doing other things like building my own house (took me 3 years) or working in mechanics (repairing engines) 3) most important : there's no shame in not caring about marketing/sales and (therefore) sucking at it. I had the opportunity to team with a guy who excels at marketing, and am able to code for a living full time while still living in a small village on a secluded island with a good internet connection. I truly hope you'll meet one of these ! Cause your work is insanely good.
- sammathews 14y agoI love this, thanks.. but is it only me that wants a set of non cuddly icons for once? I.e. easy on the rounded corners.
- xauronx 14y agoVery nice job! I sent you a couple bucks.. it's not much but if I use them for something I'll send more :)
