Icon sizes: 256x256, 48x48, 32x32, 24x24, 16x16, 512x512 File formats: ICO, GIF, PNG, BMP ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Should you use stock icons?There is certainly no dearth of online businesses that provide stock icons; however, people often wonder if using these stock icons will prove advantageous to their web designs and software programs; so, here is a look at how you can benefit by using stock icons.If you are a web designer or are creating an application, you must have a fair idea about how icons are often the major impact creators; they can turn your software or website from being just functional to one that is is professional, simple to operate and eye catching. However, making your personal icon collection is anything but easy and of course a waste of time.. If you get in touch with a web graphics designer, you will have to dole out an exorbitant amount for the icons. As opposed to this, you will be able to procure the very same quality from web graphics available online for a relatively low cost. A set of stock icons will generally have more than a hundred icons, offered in various image formats that are useful for showing the functions that are commonly observed on several websites and applications; for example, copy, paste, lock and help etc. If you could not get graphics that live up to you expectations, you can also approach one of these internet businesses and ask them to create a custom icon for you; this is probably the most feasible option; simply, the original graphics artist will have the experience to maintain some semblance of similarity in all the icons in a series associated with a distinct theme. The second query that a majority of people think about is whether they should select the commercial varieties or get free graphics, so here is some insight on the positive attributes of commercial stock icons over the free collections: Cost: The cost of an icon set can be in the range of $100 and more based on the quantity of images. However, free icon collections will normally have infringement related problems and/or you will need to use accreditations while using them. Size: High quality con sets can be bought in a variety of sizes, so even though you purchase one icon, you can get them in different sizes such as 16x16, 24x24 etc; you can also get them in different states such as disabled, hot etc. But unlike these; free images can only be downloaded in a singular size and state License: You may encounter 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 use them multiple times but with commercial stock icons, you can use the images as many times and in any project as you deem fit. Usability: Professional icon sets will usually have enough images to cover all your programming and web designing expectation but with free icons even if you do procure images of an acceptable quality, these are very rare this would mean that it may be impossible to use them in your application creation and web designing. ![]()
