Reblog: 60+ Free Vectors Icons for Web Designers

Posted in ResourcesMar 30, 09 | 08:32 am

Finding decent hi-quality vector icons for free via google is kinda hard & annoying. My results mainly lead to sites that wanted to sell you icons. I don’t beleive in paying for things like that, especially when there’s an abundant amount of vector icons that are available for free.

So enjoy the list I have compiled of free vector icons. (Almost all of them have been checked to be used for commercial and non-commercial projects but double check while downloading)
