This issue of the Best Free Social Icons series is devoted to 3D icons. This time I had to use a different approach to selecting the best free icon sets. Since three-dimensional icons are unlikely to fit into many interfaces, I decided to forget about usability for a while and see them as a showcase of designers’ skills only. So, here is the list of the most beautiful free collections of 3D social icons.

16x16 Free Application Icons

In the last 4 years or so the icons have become significantly bigger. This trend was introduced by MacOS 10, but now designers use large icons wherever they can.

But still sometimes you need a small icon, and being an icon designer myself I can say that small icons are very difficult to create. I mean, you need to work hard to make your icons recognizable, especially if they represent some not so common objects (not just another folder of magnifying glass).

But if small icons play subsidiary role in your interface, or if you work on a pilot version of some project and do not want to invest much time and money in the design at this stage, there are free sets of small icons at your disposal.

Below is the list of several such sets given in no particular order. As usual, I selected only the best sets that easily fit into various interfaces.

This is my second post devoted to best free social networking icons. This time I collected links to square icons (hands down the most popular shape). As you see, most of these icon sets have a very similar iPhone style design – glossy, with rounded corners. There are many more set of square social icons, but again I selected here only the best, professionally designed icons that look good both on light and dark backgrounds.

Best Free Sets of Social Networking Icons

There is definitely no dearth of free social icon sets on the Web. Creating a set of social icons is a good way to get links from blogs, so many designers grabbed this opportunity. The problem is, 90% of these designers stick to just two shapes: a square (in most cases with rounded corners, the iPhone-style) and a circle. There are some very good sets of square and round icons (and I will devote a separate post to them a bit later), but… the same shapes again and again… you know, it’s just boring. Besides, you may want to use something more original to draw the attention of visitors and make them follow you.

On this page you’ll find a list of 9 best social icon sets based on some less commonly used shapes. I didn’t purposely limit the number of sets, but selected only usable, professionally designed icons that look good both on light and dark backgrounds.

The sets are listed in no particular order, you decide yourself which you like better.

On the eve of Eclipse we have released a free set of Twilight Icons for all fans of the Twilight Saga. There are icons for desktop customization (including 256×256 icons for those with Windows 7 and huge screens) and images in BMP and PNG format which are good for blogs and message boards. This time we’ve skipped GIF altogether because Robert Pattinson looks just too dead in 256 colors :-) Enjoy!

250+ Stunning iPhone Icons from DeviantArt for Free

DeviantArt has arguably become one of the top sources for free graphics downloads. If you are looking for something contemporary and original DeviantArt is the first place you should look. And they have a lot to offer for iPhone users. Let’s see:

iPhone Style Toolbar Icons
The collection of iPhone icons contains images in sizes of 48×48, 32×32, 24×24, and 16×16 pixels, and supplies several iPhone-specific sizes such as shadowed version of 59×60 pixel images and 57×57 pixel without the shadow. All icons are supplied in 32-bit True Color, and come in normal, disabled, and highlighted states. A variety of file formats is provided, including ICO, PNG, and BMP formats.

BluePrint
This one is our favorite. The pencil-sketch, monochrome style makes this icon set stands out from all the other festive and glossy ones.

Aquaticus
Soft colors, nice gradients and clear analogies make this icon set a perfect example of a high-quality design.

ChokoMilk
A simple, yet very impressive icon set. Black background brings shine to all the bright colors.

iSweet 2.0
If you are looking for some bright colors this icon pack is for you! It has every color of the rainbow in it. In fact, even some colors that did not make it to the rainbow are present.

CMT iPhone Icons
Clean. Crisp. Stylish. What more can you ask?

Submedit
An adorable set of old-fashioned icons. We love the telephone receiver and square compass.

Lush
The girliest, the prettiest, the pinkest set of icons you can find for your iPhone.

Redux SummerBoard
Another stylish icon set. You cannot call it unique, but all the icons are neat and bright colored.

Brazilian
Want to add some spice to your iPhone? This icon set from a Brazilian artist will easily do the job.

Round Theme Icons
A rounded floppy disk can, certainly, look a little weird, but the overall impression is nice.
