Does anyone know a good site to buy royalty free icons from? Either membership based or pay-per-download.

Thanks :)

not exactly what you are looking for, but www.deviantart.com can be a starting point

They don't really have any royalty free icons that you can use in your designs, though, do they?

Anyway, you can add my name to the "would like to know this too" list. :)

Doing a quick Google search comes up with this:

http://www.stockicons.com/

Which is nice, but very expensive.

Just one question about a link that was posted in the other thread:

http://www.evollution.net/varios/icons.zip

Those icons - are they completely free? In what ways are you allowed to use them? It probably says, but I can't read anything there.

If you make your own graphics yourself then you can distribute them all you want, royalty free. Anywhere that you can **BUY** graphics wants everybody else to also **BUY** them, right? If you are giving away their graphics for free (or otherwise making them available for free to your unlimited customers) you are then making it harder for this other company to have a market. This apparently is the basis for copyright laws which are there to limit your ability to redistribute something that is their livelihood.

Instead of trying to purchase a set of icons, look instead to places where they provide them for free.

Yeah, you're right. Silly of the person to post the link in the first place. I'm fine with sticking to iconless designs for now, anyway. :)

I didn't post any free icons - just linked the sites listed in a thread that LiMALdito posted about. :)
