Should you use stock icons?
There is surely no shortage of online establishments that sell stock icons; however, people often try to analyze if using these stock icons will make a difference to their web designs and software programs; so, here is an analysis of how you can benefit by using stock icons.If you are a web designer or writing a program, you probably know that icons are often the major impact creators; they can take your application or website from being just functional to one that is is professional, easy to use and attractive.
However, creating your personal icon collection can be incredibly taxing and of course time consuming. If you get in touch with a web graphics designer, you will have to dole out a small fortune for the icons. On the contrary, you could find similar quality from stock icon sets available online for a fraction of the cost. A set of stock icons can include more than a hundred icons, offered in a variety of graphic formats that are useful for depicting the functions that are commonly observed on most websites and software programs; such as, help, copy, paste, lock etc.
If you don't get stock icons that suit your requirements, you can also approach one of these websites and request them to make a custom icon for you; this is by far the most feasible option; to put it simply, the the person who created the other icons in the series will be in a better position to retain some degree of commonality throughout the series of images associated with a particular theme.
Another question that most people ponder over is whether they should opt for the commercial images or pick free collections, so here are some thoughts on the advantages of commercial icon collections vis a vis the free images:
Rate: The cost of an collection of graphics is generally in the vicinity of $100 and above depending on the number of icons. However, free graphics will generally have royalty concerns and/or you will need to include accreditations when they are put to use on your site.
Size: High quality image collections can be purchased in a variety of sizes, so although you purchase a single icon, you should get them in an assortment of sizes like 16x16, 24x24 etc; you can also purchase them in various states ;for instance, disabled, hot etc. On the other hand; free images can only be downloaded in a singular size and state
License: You may encounter some concerns with the a license that costs nothing; you may not be allowed to make changes to the icons nor will you have the permission to use them multiple times but with commercial stock icons, you can utilize the stock icons whenever and wherever you want.
Usability: Commercial stock icons will usually feature quite a few graphics to suit all your application and web graphic needs ; however, with free icons even if you do procure fairly good graphics, they cannot be found easily which means that you will not be able to incorporate them in your applications.
