Perhaps that is why we love those small indispensible graphical images so much, it’s an appreciation of the hard work, creativity and talent of the designer. And to think, all those hours spent in front of a laptop crafting these little marvels, and then, allowing everyone else to download them for free. To all icon designers we say: “thank you”.

In this post we present a round-up of fresh high-quality icons that are available for free download and (sometimes only for personal) use. Please make sure to read license agreements before using icons in your designs – they can change from time to time.

One of the best features that we are bringing with the new website launch is our Membership Access.  Your membership will allow you full access to all of the graphics in our database including the following:

• Source Files -When we post a new graphic or a tutorial we will allow you, as a member, to have access to the actual source file(s) that was utilized for the tutorial.  This will allow you to see first-hand the method that we used to create the graphic that is being displayed.
• Videos – Often we will use videos when posting a tutorial to show you visually exactly how we are creating the graphic or design.  This is often better than reading text, however we will utilize both methods for better learning.
• Access To Free Support – You will be able to ask questions via our support system for free and get a response within 24 hours!
• We love aesthetic design, so we utilize transparency when creating graphics.  You will receive PNG format of our graphics when you download them, which will let you place them anywhere and give it a clean look to your project.  Would you prefer to have a nice graphic with a white background square border on top of a background that’s red?  I don’t think so!
