ober Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 I'm looking for new little icons for my site (arrows, boxes, pointers, etc). I've done google image searches but I'm still not coming up with anything good. Where do you guys get your stuff (that you don't make)?

redbullmarky Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 this is a good one for little icons and flags, more suited to toolbars, etc:http://www.famfamfam.com/lab/icons/this one is particularly excellent - there are literally HUNDREDS in all sizes and formats as a single package:http://kudesnick.blogspot.com/as long as you don't mind giving credit somewhere in your site/app where you use them, I doubt you'll need to look elsewhere for icons.cheersMark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redbullmarky Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 no worries ;) - took me ages to find them first time around, so i know how hard it is to find good icons that don't cost... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obsidian Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 very cool. all the icons i've used i've had friends draw up for me, so having a resource like that is very nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.josh Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 yeah i've always just drawn little icons myself. Maybe those linkies will save me some time in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neylitalo Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 You could always find something that's been GPL'd and use the icons from that. I'm not sure if you have to do something to maintain the GPLness of the thing, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbullmarky Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 [quote author=neylitalo link=topic=112138.msg455328#msg455328 date=1161415701]You could always find something that's been GPL'd and use the icons from that.
