I came across a really awesome icon resource awhile back, but never got a chance to write anything about it.  If you’re a web designer or developer who always has use for quality icons — especially ones with GPL or similar licenses — this is the website for you.  It’s essentially a search engine for icons.  Everything about this website rocks, especially their logo:

The website doesn’t have a massive selection of icons to choose from yet, but you should find something relevant to what you’re looking for.  If not, you can always design it and submit it yourself.

    Normally I don’t browse blogs, but everything posted here is amazing! thanks for this link, I don’t think I would have found it otherwise. It’s great for a non-graphic designer trying to play around.

  3. I justed wanted to suggest a new and better icon search engine, FindIcons.com, which has larger icon collection and complete search filters.
