I have been using IconFinder.com for years now and I can attest that it is the best icon search engine out there. Almost all icons used in VWO come from there. I just wish that icon library was more comprehensive that what it is now but all in all, a well-executed site.
I have been using this for months and the interface is really good and the rights management filter is a very nice touch.<p>I am hoping it starts indexing/storing vector files soon or maybe have accounts for the artist/shops behind the icons so that people can easily contact then hire them from the site itself.
Looks pretty much like findicons.com.<p><a href="http://www.iconfinder.com/search/?q=rss" rel="nofollow">http://www.iconfinder.com/search/?q=rss</a><p><a href="http://findicons.com/search/rss" rel="nofollow">http://findicons.com/search/rss</a>
Nice service, just tried searching "save" and I find it funny that what apparently is the standard icon still shows a floppy disk. Somebody should survey 10 year old kids if they know what it means..
I dont understand why people dont use consistent icons on their apps.<p>I always choose an icon set (Oxygen, Tango, etc) and use it for whole project. Sometimes there are missing icons, but i think its worth the consistency i get.<p>Same style and same palette for all my icons.
Speaking of icons, I'm pretty much only interested in vector icons, because I can resize them any way I want and I'm doing the quality control when converting to PNG etc.<p>Bitmap icon quality, even the ones based on original vector artwork, are sometimes simply not up to my standards. My favorite free icon collection is the "Tango" collection, but it is also lacking in a few ways.<p>So I'm looking for another decent free or commercial vector collection that I can use for my projects. Most of the icon collections I see are selling bitmap versions only. Any ideas?
That's just really nice and super helpful... Seems as though you have highly targeted content but have no real monetization. What are your plans for monetization?
Looks great. Makes me wish I had something that needs icons!<p>The one thing that was a bit odd to me was the way the tiled icons don't often fill out the last line, even when there are many more pages of results. Typically an incomplete grid sends a message that this is the last page of results.
I created an account using Chrome but only the username seems to have been saved. Trying to edit my account results in a white screen so I can't add an email address or change my password. They username I signed up with is "abrahamwilliams"
This is great. Sometimes all you need is just a quick Facebook like button.<p>It's a great way to discover icons. Of course, you would usually want to use only icons from a single icon set, so your icons become consistent through your application.<p>However, sometimes you get into trouble when the set doesn't have a particular icon. This site could be a life saver if you don't have any budget to contact the original designer and ask for custom work.<p>Good job iconfinder
I would say its not legal. Many icons are licensed "for personal use only". So putting them on a website with advertising seems to be against the license.
Very very nice. Is there any way to categorize icon styles or qualities as well? An example after background colour and file format I would need: "Web 2.0-styled" or "cool/warm". I find the only time I page through search results is looking for specific style qualities.
