Download Free Icons from IconBuffet
[via Simplebits] IconBuffet's new 'Delivery' service offers you a free download of a sample set of icons each month.
The icons are free to use for commercial or personal use, so there's no reason not to create a free account and start collecting them. You can use them on your blog, your web site, in software, or for pretty much whatever you want.
You can also send them on to up to five friends, which is a neat idea.
Here's what I got in my first delivery:
Each icon comes in 16px, 24px and 32px sizes and in a variety of formats (e.g. BMP, GIF, PNG, TIFF, ICO) for both Windows and Mac. Of course, you don't get a complete set - I would imagine 12 icons is probably typical - but what do you expect for free?
Up to a dozen free deliveries are released each month with everyone getting a random set of icons each time. So, if you get a few other people to register you can send each other your icon sets and start amassing quite a collection!
