I've used icon finder hundreds of times. It's great.

I am also a fan of the Fugue icon set (http://p.yusukekamiyamane.com/) with over 3000 (!) super high quality icons. There is a licensing fee if you don't want to attribute but it is pretty affordable ($60).

The fugue set is great. I paid not so I didn't have to attribute but because the creator so clearly deserves it.

Weird, it looks very much like a remake of Famfamfam's silk icon set. Compare: http://fugue-icons-src.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/all-preview.... to: http://www.famfamfam.com/lab/icons/silk/previews/index_abc.p...

There are a lot of differences but there are also a lot of similarities.

Are the icons in this set actually usable? http://www.iconfinder.com/search/?q=iconset:social

What are the legal issues there?

binarymax• 15 years ago

It says at the top: License: Free for commercial use, but I also recommend going through the Readme to make absolutely sure.

jcromartie2• 15 years ago

I mean in regards to them being mostly trademarks of other companies.

dchest• 15 years ago

Be careful: some icons that have free licenses actually use elements of images that are not under those licenses.

Examples:

http://www.iconfinder.com/icondetails/7512/128/application_a... - Apple's icon

Most of the icons in the "Futurosoft" set you've linked look like they were ripped from various sources (mostly from Windows 7, with a few from OS X). It looks like the set was syndicated from kde-look.org, and I've shot them a message about the situation.

iconfinder4• 15 years ago

They were syndicated from Futuresoft - I will look them through and remove those from OS X and Windows. None of the icons were specifically from Win 7 since Futuresoft was released many years ago.

I was going to say: since when does stuff like this get on HN, but it's actually a pretty awesome site.

iconfinder4• 15 years ago

Yeah, it's not the usual stuff for HN.

Thanks anyway.

There are some pretty nice icons there. My favorite are the credit card ones: http://www.iconfinder.com/search/?q=iconset%3AThemeShock-cre...

Iconfinder is great, yes. I also like Picons - royalty-free vector icons. Great for commercial projects. Cheap and good looking, check it out: http://picons.me

iconfinder4• 15 years ago

Thanks!

Agreed, Picons are great.

Awesome collection.

I've used the IconSweet2 set for various custom UITabBarItem icons in iOS applications. They fit amazingly well with the System Icons.

I love The Noun Project. They have the simplest, most easily recognizable set. Just wish they had all the social media ones as well: http://www.iconfinder.com/search/?q=iconset:nounproject

MatthewPhillips• 15 years ago

I'm in love with these icons... just simple and amazing. Will be using them in one of my projects.

And still, I can't find an icon for macvim that's not horrible.
