Ikonate – fully customisable and accessible vector icons

"Do not resell or redistribute the icons, even for free." But they gave them the MIT License, which explicitly allows those things...

I only checked a few raw icons and I am impressed: They are fully stripped of superfluous markup introduced by SVG editors; that was something which I had to implement over and over again for customers&#x27; build pipelines.<p>Also, the possibility to download a custom styled set is great: With all other icon sets I ended up either modifying them myself in a text editor or received a bunch of modified files from the graphics person in the project - but bloated with markup I needed to strip afterwards (see first point).

&gt; Ikonate is the very first icon set of this kind designed to be fully accessible*<p>&gt; * Ikonate is NOT accessible out of the box and will never be. We&#x27;ve done our best to follow the best accessibility practices while building this software, but it&#x27;s your role to adjust it and make it truly accessible inside your project.<p>these are incompatible statements. the author should just not call it accessible.<p>also -- why &quot;will never be&quot;? there are ways to make it more accessible, if not perfect. one idea: turn the icons into a truetype GX variable font with a weight axis that increases as viewport size decreases using media queries. that would increase out of the box legibility considerably.

Kinda related: It seems clipart died with Google image search and the only alternatives I can find are things like the noun project[1] or fontawesome[2] both of which require a subscription, rather than a purchase, and neither really fills that clip art use-case.<p>I&#x27;d love to purchase a clipart set like in the old 90&#x27;s days of power point.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;thenounproject.com&#x2F;accounts&#x2F;pricing&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;thenounproject.com&#x2F;accounts&#x2F;pricing&#x2F;</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;fontawesome.com&#x2F;pro" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;fontawesome.com&#x2F;pro</a>

Really cool! I kinda wish I had thought of it :) Any thoughts to adding further parameterization to icons? Like altering the length of the handle of the magnifying glass or something?

Nice collection. Would be nice to easily create icon with just any text similar to already included HDR icon to accommodate e.g. ISO, WB, I&#x2F;O, HD etc

I can&#x27;t find a link to it, but I remember reading a discussion, that if you want icons&#x2F;images for fixes known sizes and resolutions, it is better to have rasters than vectors: I think, mostly to do with scaling of line weights&#x2F;widths, vector scaling of these often results in ungainly images while a raster of a given native resolution looks clearer&#x2F;better more proportionate.

Thanks for all the feedback, I tweeted the author about HN link, and someone has created a thread on GitHub. Hopefully, it will help him clear things up about the license. I believe it is not his intention to confuse us. Anyway, it is a cool tool and big thumbs up for the author!

Obviously very nice looking icons. It would be even better to be able to download them as font. Then one can customise the icons later on his&#x2F;her own website using CSS (text-color, background-colour, font-size, etc).

I played around with it and have to say that this is just great. The only option that I did not understand since it didn&#x27;t change anything was the &quot;style&quot; button. What is that for?

This is pretty neat, cool name, it goes to my loved bookmarks :)<p>One thing though I don&#x27;t get is the 0 border width setting. Is that useful somehow?

Note that there&#x27;s a vaguely popular site named ‘icons8’ on about the same topic, so some confusion might ensue in the future.

There&#x27;s a certain irony in having the link to the accessibility disclaimer be so hard to target.

off-topic question: what library the site is using for these icons: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;imgur.com&#x2F;a&#x2F;GVVi3TQ" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;imgur.com&#x2F;a&#x2F;GVVi3TQ</a> , I really like 3d icons.

Pretty cool. Will use it in my projects for sure. Thanks mikolajdobrucki :)

Oh, wow. Thanks a lot to the owner of this web site.

Nice job! The spritesheet is the best!

what would be the most reasonable way to &quot;fill&quot; these icons?
