Looks pretty neat

Though I'm always afraid of using icon sets (especially for a big product) because if I couldn't find an icon I need then sometimes it's not that easy to find this icon from another source with similar styling




This project actually started because of that haha. I've started off with a mix of obscure and commonly used icons, but I've got another 200 coming soon, and will continue to make more.

I'm also setting up the site with a request option. Just wanted to get the project out otherwise it'd never get out :)

Is there anything that you're currently after? Will try and sneak it in to the next release.


you could always bribe the author, I hear he's a nice guy :)

worst case you might end up paying some other designer to supply the icon you need in the desired style. shouldn't break the bank, "especially for a big product".


Can confirm that I'll listen (no bribe necessary) haha. It's going to take a while to knock off every icon, but we'll get there.


I use materialdesignicons.com

If I don't have a necessary icon, I just draw one, and contribute it to them.

The only problem is that Google lately seems to have abandoned nice simple material icons in favour of rather ugly outlined icons. Their current design with this fat new font is way worse than it was when Material Design was introduced in Android 5.0


So what do you do, design every icon you need yourself?


I use noun project or flaticon. Though in order to get full advantage you got to pay. So yeah, I'm actually looking through tons of icons trying to find some with similar styling
