Collection of Small Icons for Web Development

Filed under: Web Design at 10:35 pm —

Whether you’re making an application or a web design, it’s useful to have a collection of high quality icons handy. Your users will appreciate the professional touch and ease of navigation that they bring. Over the years I’ve collected a ton of sets, I spent a couple hours digging through them all and compiling this. All downloads are hosted on my server in their original unaltered archives and include a mirror to the author’s website if applicable, this is a proactive measure in case their sites ever disappear.

These are very popular icons and for a good reason. Mark James invested countless hours into creating 4 impressive collections of well over 1,000 images for you to freely use. FamFamFam is easily my favorite collection of icons, I make use of them wherever I can.
