icons

[Lawrence, Dan]

No bees knees answer here, but I've had success in the past mix and matching icon sets from royalty free sites such as Shutterstock.  E.g.

http://goo.gl/5qTAyP or http://goo.gl/kggjYF

Shutterstock is pretty reasonable you can get licensed use for 2 images for $29, 5 for $49 or go all out and download 25 a day for future use over a month period for $249.

Hi all,

I'm wondering if anyone out there has done any icon work for their web content. We've got a hodgepodge of icons we've pulled from multiple places, but no uniform set that clearly enhances the UX. Recent work with Bootstrap made me a fan of Glyphicons<http://glyphicons.com/>  but looking over these, I'm seeing significant gaps in what we'll need. For example, there aren't a lot of library oriented icons...copy machines, group study rooms, e-readers, etc.

One thought was to start with Glyphicons and then add on as we need, but before we do that, I wondered if anyone out there has discovered the bees-knees of library icon sets.

My preference would be sets that come in either font sets or SVGs. But I'm flexible here.

Thanks for any advice!
