Have you considered using stock icons?
There is surely no dearth of online establishments that sell stock icons; however, people often ponder if including these stock icons will prove advantageous to their web designs and tools; so, here is an analysis of how you can benefit by using stock icons.If you are designing a website or are creating an application, you must have a fair idea about how pictorial depictions of the various functions are often the things that add to the quality of your site; they can take your program or website from being just functional to one that is has a professional touch, user friendly and eye catching.
However, designing your own stock icons can be incredibly taxing and of course a waste of time.. If you hire the services of a web graphics designer, you will land up spending an exorbitant amount for the icon collection. On the contrary, you will be able to get similar quality from web graphics available over the internet for a relatively low cost. A library of stock icons can include more than a hundred icons, sold in different image formats that are ideal for depicting the functions that are popularly seen on most websites and software programs; for instance, copy, paste, lock and help etc.
If you don't get stock icons that live up to you expectations, you can always approach one of these websites and ask them to design exclusive icons for you; this is probably the most feasible option; simply, the designer who worked on the original graphics will be in a better position to maintain a modicum of similarity in all the icons in a series created for a particular theme.
Another doubt that several people ponder over is whether they should choose the commercial varieties or get free icon sets, so here is some insight on the advantages of commercial icon collections vis a vis the free images:
Rate: The cost of an icon collection can be in the range of $100 and over depending on the number of graphical depictions. However, free icon collections will normally have copyright concerns and/or you will need to use accreditations while you use them on your site.
Size: Good quality image collections can be bought in a myriad of sizes, so although you pay for a single icon, you should get them in different sizes like 16x16, 24x24 etc; you can also get them in different states like disabled, hot etc. But unlike these; free images can only be procured in a single size and state
License: You may need to tackle some issues with the licenses that are free; you may not be allowed to modify the icons in anyway nor will you be able to utilize them multiple times but with commercial stock icons, you can use the images whenever and wherever you want.
Usability: Commercial stock icons will normally contain quite a few graphics to suit all your application and web graphic requirements but with free images even if you do procure good quality images, they are far and few between which means that you will not be able to incorporate them in your applications.
