Wow! I was just looking for something like this. Thanks for sharing.

I especially like the permissive license -- commercial or non-commercial use with modifications allowed and no attribution requirements. Basically, you just can't sell the icons as your own work.

That means I can actually have nice icons in this project I'm doing for work. Good stuff.

Also see FlatIcon [1] which has 1000s of icons. I've been especially impressed by their download flow. Only negative is the pagination, which is a bit pants.

Hi, we will love to hear your ideas on how can we improve it, or more details into which parts are more painful. My email is my HN login @gmail.com.

Certainly! I can save the email and give you the short answer that I should have articulated better in my comment (apologies).

Basically when I'm browsing within a single pack, any sort of pagination seems unnecessary. I tend to agree with the common trend that pagination is just a bad user experience in general. Scrolling, even with a 'More' button is always better. Ideally, implement infinite scrolling.

Thanks for the great service!

I don't suppose there's a "download all" link somewhere, where I can just browse through of my own accord?
Re:Free vector icons by e98cuenc on Friday November 22, 2013 @03:02AM (#6779733)
We're adding a button to download entire packs in one click, in all formats. This should ease a lot the navigation. If you have photoshop you can also use our plugin to search directly from photoshop and insert any icon that matches your search in your project.

what is the "we are working to get these available for you" link under most of the packs?
Re:Free vector icons by nilliams on Thursday November 21, 2013 @02:07PM (#6776657)
Hmm I hadn't noticed that, you still seem to be able to download the icons individually/bundled though by clicking on the download link on each icon.
Re:Free vector icons by e98cuenc on Friday November 22, 2013 @03:01AM (#6779727)
It's because we're adding a button to download the entire pack. Bad wording, we should have let it empty until the button is there.

You should also check out Font Awesome[1]. It's a really useful icon collection licensed under the MIT license.

Piggybacking on this, GlyphSearch is a tool for searching Font Awesome and several other popular icon fonts.

You misread the license: http://ikons.piotrkwiatkowski.co.uk/license.html

> Making modifications or alterations to any of the icons does not free you to then sell, license or distribute them to anyone else.

If you’re looking for something really permissive: http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/icons/
