365icon: Get the Best Icons on the Web for Free

365icon is a free resource for the web design community that provides free icons that you can use on your website(s). The site is frequently updated with new icons that are ready to be downloaded and used by you anytime.

I believe that by offering an easy, free avenue for people to add to the creativity of their websites, I am doing the least that we can do to make the web a better (and prettier) place.

In 365icon, you can get movie icons like the cool StarWars icons, classic icons, the very creative hand drawn icons, tech icons, and so much more. Simply select the respective category of the icon that you are looking for, go to the icon/icon set page and begin your download. The site also offers free banners that you can use on your blogs or websites. As of now, they only offer donation banners but I’m pretty convinced that that’s not the end of it.

If you’re looking for the best icons in the web, chances are that you’ll find them here. They have a nifty collection of icons at their disposal. The site is a great place to start looking for great looking icons. If you don’t happen to find the right icon(s) that you are looking for, it would be wise to bookmark the site or subscribe to their RSS feeds for what you are looking for might show up sooner than you think.

IconFinder: Search Individual Icons and Icon Sets

IconFinder is a tool that mainly focuses on finding the best icons for you. You can search their database of high quality icons in an easy and efficient way. This is a very useful tool for web designers who are looking for the right tool that can be used in their next web project.

The service allows you to search for individual icons or iconsets. Each respective icon is tagged and rated by users. The proper tagging makes it easy for the user to search for a particular icon and the rating system is used by IconFinder to give you the highest rated icons/iconsets on the first page of the search result.

The search results page is as useful as the search tool. Aside from letting you select the density of the icons displayed per page, IconFinder also lets you change the background color from white to black to grey. You are also allowed to filter the results by icon size (12px, 16px.. 128px) and license. Every time you select and view a particular icon, IconFinder will display other sizes or versions of that particular icon so you can select which one will best suit your need. Other icons from the same icon set are also displayed on the bottom part of the page. Once you have made your choice, you can either download the PNG version of the icon or the ICO file format.

The next time you are in need of high quality icons or icon set, try searching through more than 100,000 icons or browse more than 200 icon sets in IconFinder.

MySocialButtons: Social Networking Site Button Resource

Tired of the social networking buttons posted on your blog? Try something new and get a fresh set of social networking site buttons at MySocialButtons. They have a nice collection of buttons for you to choose from.

You can download different sizes and designs. My personal favorite is the hand drawn icon set contributed by Janko. All the buttons are free for you to use. Just remember to download them and host them somewhere else. Don’t just right click and copy the image location. Doing that means that you’re stealing bandwidth from the source website.
