7 places to Find New App Icons
Nowadays everyone wants their stuff to be unique and custom. What a better way to be unique then changing your OS’s app icons right? Well, I’ve got you covered. Here are seven amazing resources for great icons to be used on your desktop & on your apps. **UPDATED: More based on your comments!**
1. Iconfactory
Icon factory has always had a selection of beautiful finely crafted icons. They are responsible for the beautiful UI of Twitteriffic & Ramp Champ.
Do one thing and do it well. If ever there was a philosophy for what we do here at the Iconfactory, this would be it. From day one we have dedicated ourselves to being the best in the challenging and niche field of icon design.
2. 365 Icon
Whats better than an icon site? One with an icon for everyday of course.
365icon.com is a free resource for the web design community. 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.
3. We Love Icons
We love icons. Do you?
We Love Icons is a joint project by Guifx designers Dan Wiersema and Nando Albuquerque. We started We Love Icons because, well… we love icons! Our sole purpose is to provide you with ONE place to go to find links to the BEST freeware icons on earth.
4. Interfacelift
My Interface needs a lift. I can has?
Interface lift has always had great icons and backgrounds. They have iPhone backgrounds in their arsenal too. If you like to change your background several times in a month and love customizing things this is your place!
5. Prettify
Dang. That there is prettified.
Nice icons and wallpapers for the discerning individual, collected and curated.
6. Deviant Art
I need some art.
With over 80,000 images uploaded a day and 2 million hits its hard to argue that there won’t be fresh content here daily. They have icons all over the place as well as anything else that the word “art” could encompass. Check it out.
7. Pixel Girl Presents
Pixie Girl to the rescue.
A recent favorite of mine. Pixel Girl has a copious amount of icons on her site and a good amount of cartoon/illustrated ones. This is definitely a site worth checking out.
