A great design is all in the details – the icons used in a web app need to explain perfectly what the feature does, as well as suit the entire aesthetic of the site. Sharing buttons need to stand out, but also be in keeping with the site’s overall look and feel. It’s these small details that can make or break a design, and it’s surprisingly important to get them right.
We’ve selected a collection of beautifully designed icons for your next web project, all freely available to download and created by some of the most talented web designers out there.
Time for some more free stuff people. This week our friends at ArtBox7.com are offering tons of free resources up for grabs! We’ve got a ton of vectors to give away, as well as premium brush sets and vector icons. This time I’m changing the rules just a bit so read them carefully. From now on I’d like everyone to include their twitter username (if you have one) in your comment so I can tweet to the winners! Anyway, good luck everyone!
I hope everyone had a good weekend, how about starting off the week with some free icons! My friends over at Artua Design Studio have graciously handed over a super cool icon set for me to give away. As you can see the icon set has a Wall·E theme, and contains 8 super detailed icons. Icons include Media Player, My Applications, My Computer, My Documents, Network, Recycle Bin (empty), Recycle Bin (full), and Search. You can download both PNG’s and ICO formats, enjoy!

This is an incredible free icon set I recently came across and I wanted to make sure no one misses it. While I’m at it, I’d like to apologize for the lack of activity lately. I’m slaving over a complete re-design of BittBox at the moment and I’m neck deep in code and bug fixes, not to mention icon surfing. (Oh, and when BBv4 launches, you can kiss that big Google ad at the top of each post goodbye :) Anyway, for the time being, head on over to the Function site for a killer free icon set. The set includes 128 48 x 48px icons, yummy!
This might be a tip that is more useful for bloggers or tech writers than designers, but I’ve found myself in this situation plenty of times. I need an application icon to use as an image for one reason or another, I can’t find a decent one online, and all of the crappy conversion shareware software is just wasting my time. I came across a very neat trick over at Macosxhints that was super simple and no 3rd party software is required. If you have OS X you can use the Terminal App (Applications > Utilities) to convert any ICNS file to an image format that can be used in whatever Photoshop.
