What is Icons8?

Its a web site with many free PNG icons for Windows8, Android, iOS and Mac OSX applications. You can download PNG files and start using them right away at no cost. If you want to download vector formats like SVG, AI or EPS you will have to buy the icon packages.

How to start?

Well there is not much to it, really. Just download the icon packs and start importing them into your application projects. PNG file format is supported by XCode and many other development tools and IDE’s.

What else is good about it?

We have created several posts here on Enfew about free icons available for your mobile application projects.

We think Icons8 folks did very good job in creating these icon sets and they are constantly working on keeping them up to day to reflects new trends in mobile application design and development space. Try the icons yourself and let us know if they fit your needs!

The post 8 Awesome Sci-Fi Icon Packs For Film Geeks appeared first on ENFEW.

We have collected some great links to great free icon packs for mobile applications. Keep reading this post! Recently we added review about another great free icon pack.

1. 30 Free Vector Icons By dezinerfolio

After a long break here we are with some more goodies. Here are 30 free vector icons with an apple touch to it. The download contains the PSD source file. These icons can also be used as iPhone menu bar icons.

2. 50 Free Android Menu Icons

↑ The package includes 50 PNG menu icons in 3 sizes plus the additional source files for further customization.

3.  Icons for mobile apps

Icons for mobile apps – Designed and carefully optimized for iPhone & iPad apps, they’re also perfect for Android apps, websites, t-shirts, tattoos and more.
Ready for iPhone 4 – Custom-made for the iPhone 4’s Retina display, Glyphish Pro includes double-sized 2x versions for crisp rendering on high-resolution devices.

4. Retina Display Icon Set

We had such a great response from our iPhone icon set, and so many requests for larger formats, that Alex decided awhile back to build them out for Retina display. Each icon is now available at 3 sizes: 64 x 64, 48 x 48, and 24 x 24.

5. 64 free tab bar icons

This icon set has been carefully crafted to be pixel perfect on both normal and high resolution iOS devices. The icons contain beautiful shaded portions to give added depth and to highlight icon features. They are meant to go on the tab bar at the bottom of your app.

You can use these icons completely free in your commercial or non-commercial apps as long as you put a link to app-bits somewhere in your application. They are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-No Derivative Works 3.0 License. So please don’t edit the icons in any way without permission.

6. The Android Developer Common Icon Set

we’re doing our bit by giving you some free icons to ease your task of making great applications. We’ve based the style of our icons on some of the icons that are contained within the Android SDK as well as screenshots and videos. If you’d like more icons in this style, please feel free to contact us for custom work in this style. 

7.  Gesturecons – Icons For Multi-Touch Interfaces

Our way of thinking as web/application/software designers is about to be turned upside down. No longer will we design around a mouse/cursor, but will have to think about fingers and gestures when we design the next generation of interface. Gesturecons are here to aid you in that process.

Vector based icons created to aid in the design, development, implementation and promotion of multi-touch interfaces. These icons will aid in the creation of wire-frame documents, digital help files and printed documentation. You can also use Gesturecons inside of your applications in order to demonstrate to users how to complete actions or prompt them to interact with an application when they approach it.

High resolution multi-touch vector icons, scalable and alterable (.pdf, .ai, .eps file types.)

Available For Android, Web OS, iOS, OSX Trackpad, Windows Phone 7, Windows 7, Microsoft Surface, Microsoft Kinect
