A Website That Makes Icon Search a Lot Easy

Just today when I was returning from my office I came across a place where a vehicle had broken down on the road and some people were fixing it. Around it were standing some  traffic cops who has barricaded the area to make the public aware but looking at the barricade the only thing that instantly popped into my mind was VLC media player. Why? It’s because its icon matches the one that was used to barricade the area.

Weird for such a situation but yes that is what popped into my mind. The reason why I explained all of this is because I wanted to tell you all, what importance icons play and especially for all those people who are interested in software development or any form of tech stuff. For people mainly into mobile development they need to understand the importance of icons really well as that is what makes the total brand image of the company or their product.

One of such service which I have got to know about is Icons Land which is an amazing place to get any type of icons you would like to have. The way this website makes things easy is categorization of the many icons they have in a proper manner. Of some of the coolest categories I have seen on the site include map makers, people’s faces and metro sports. Icons like this may be the best used for various purposes apart from brand building as you may use them inside the software, such as a particular type of an icon of a pin you may use inside your app/software which uses a map.

Moreover the website also has a cool collection of smileys. Apart from the common smileys we use customized form of smileys may also make a huge difference for any web application. This has been well proved with the growth of WhatsApp which has its own version of smileys making it completely unique.

Why Icons Land?

Now that’s a very simple question to ask and here there is a simple way to explain.

The License

Amazingly I also got to know the demo versions of the icons from this website may be used commercially without paying any licensing fees although you have to provide a linkback to the website or the credits in any readable manner.

The commercial licensing on the other hand gives you broad freedom to use the images downloaded for any commercial activities. For further information relating to this I’d suggest you read more about their licensing.

In simple words I believe this website is on the way of becoming the shutterstock of icons and similar stuff.
