Some amazing Icon Sets are missing? Let us know!- You ask.
YES!
But the icon set I’m talking about hasn’t been made – yet!
I dare anyone out there to make an icon-set for creative designers. The set should include the following icons:

– Oil Brush (For: Painters)
– Aquarelle Brush (For: Painters)
– Crayon (For: Crayon Artists)
– Pencil (For: Traditional Drawing)
– Markers (For: Artists who use markers)
– Ink (For. Ink-artists)
– Photoshop (For: Artists who use Photoshop)
– Illustrator (For: Artists who use Illustrator)
– Flash (For: Artists who use Flash)
– Dreamweaver (For: webdesigners who use Dreamweaver)
Others?
Perhaps also icons for the categories:
logodesign, print-layouts and so on…
I looove icon mashups! Nice Work!!!

I agree completely with what you’re saying. My only drawback is that once I do attempt to make a change, it really works, however I all the time revert again to my identical ways. Sticking to them is what I discover difficult.
I REALLY like the wooden folder icons and the altered DropBox icon. I just wish I had the skill to create those types of things. One thing for sure, I’m going to download them right away
We are now in 2011, The icons are still great and very usefull.
My favourites are “Milky icon set” and “Coquette Icons”.
I’m a designer for several years. But i have to be honest that my skills aren’t at the level of the designers of these icons :-(
a good collection of icons, are very good and very useful for use in any design, not only to see that too as did those icons…
I am sorry for delay, but Happy New Year 2011 everyone!. I come and read the web site very often.
Good designs .. appreciate !!!
As long as we’re making websites, lists like this will continue to be incredibly useful.
I’ve used several of these free icons in my UI projects.
I’ve found really worthy post and useful info.
Thanks for sharing…
can get more icons from this link..

This is a great blog and very engaging too. Excellent work! That’s not really much coming from an amateur publisher like me, but it’s all I could think after enjoying your posts. Excellent grammar and vocabulary. Not like other blogs. You really know what you’re talking about too. So much that you made me want to explore more. Your blog has become a stepping stone for me, my friend. Thank you for the articulate journey. I really enjoyed the 4 posts that I have read so far.
It’s neat to check out views that produce awareness and are valuable nonetheless.
Great! Thank you.
thank you good icons.. found
Really nice and valuable icon. very useful for blog and web site
wow, thanks a lot, this is an amazing list!!
I like this blog layout . How do you make it? It’s so sweet
Thanks for putting this together. It really helps a non-designer developer like me. I still appreciate great design and rely the awesome designers I work with, but sometimes you just need a place to grab a good icon.
