Icons are almost like road signs around the internet. In one tiny illustration, your eye is immediately attracted to a focal point, informed what to do next, and led to navigate in your favored direction. Whether it's a menu direction, a download function or just a visual representation, icons stand in as a kind of shorthand for web users.
And if you start building websites or apps, you'll quickly discover that just whipping up an icon is easier said than done.
Thankfully, services like Flat Icons are around to do all the heavy lifting of icon creation for you, then pull them all together into packages like their ultra-useful Flat Icons Bundle.
A Flat Icons subscription immediately gives you access to over 22,000 different icons that you can use in all of your digital projects, both personal and professional. The icons come in 17 distinctively different styles and are gathered into more than 260 different categories, so chances are very high that there is literally an icon available for any type of project you're putting together.
And your icon of choice should fit easily into your work since it's downloadable in a bunch of different file formats, including AI, EPS, SVG, PDF, PNG and more. Meanwhile, your subscription to Flat Icons also entitles you to constant updates with new, fresh design elements added to the collection every month.
If you find that you wish you could add an extra detail to a particular icon or wished it came in a different color, Flat Icons has your back there as well. Whether you use Illustrator, Sketch, Figma, Procreate, Affinity Designer or another creation app, just drag in the working file of your chosen icon and their platform will let you tweak, adjust and customize to your heart's content.
Every icon in the Flat Icons archive is fair game under your license and can be used freely in any of your work, including commercial advertising.
Users have always been enthusiastic about Flat Icons work, driving their collection to Product of the Day and Product of the Week honors on Product Hunt. Now, you can take advantage of their entire icon stockpile with a lifetime membership, a more than $3,700 value, on sale now for only $29.99.
