Should you use stock icons?
There is definitely no dearth of online businesses that offer stock icons; however, people often ponder if incorporating these stock icons will change the look of their web designs and tools; so, here is an analysis of how you can benefit by using stock icons.If you are into website designing or writing a program, you probably know that icons are often the first impression creators; they can turn your program or website from being just functional to one that is is professional looking, user friendly and attention grabbing.
However, creating your personal stock icons is anything but easy and of course time consuming. If you hire the services of a web graphics designer, you will end up paying him a bundle for the icon collection. On the contrary, you can get the very same quality from stock icon sets offered over the internet for a fraction of the cost. A set of stock icons will generally have 100 or more images, sold in different graphic formats that are ideal for depicting the functions that are commonly observed on most websites and applications; such as, help, lock , copy, paste and others.
If you could not buy icons that suit your requirements, you can also contact one of these online establishments and ask them to create exclusive icons for you; this is an immensely feasible option; simply, the original graphics artist will display a level of comfort with the theme which will help him to hold on to some semblance of similarity in all the icons in a series devoted to a particular theme.
Another question that several people wonder about is whether they should opt for the commercial images or get free icon sets, so here is some insight on the positive attributes of commercial icon collections vis a vis the free images:
Cost: The rate of an icon collection is to the tune of $100 and more depending on the number of graphical depictions. However, free icon collections will generally have infringement related problems and/or you will have to include accreditations while using them.
Size: High quality con sets can be bought in a myriad of sizes, so even though you purchase a single icon, you can get them in several sizes like 16x16, 24x24 etc; you can also buy them in different states such as disabled, hot etc. But unlike these; free images can only be procured in a singular size and state
License: You may have to face some concerns with the free license; you will not have the liberty to alter the images in any sense nor will you have the permission to utilize them as many times as you want but with professional icon collections, you can incorporate the images in web designing as many times and in any project as you deem fit.
Usability: Good icon libraries will generally have ample of pictures to meet all your application and web designing requirements ; however, with free graphics even if you were to manage to get images of an acceptable quality, these are very rare which means that you will not be able to incorporate them in your applications.
