SVG Icon Sets Worth Stashing Away

Finding a good icon set is rarely a one-and-done task. I’ve been saving a few lately—not just because they look good, but because they all share some practical qualities that make them easy to drop into a project. Every single one of them:

  • is SVG, so resizing is trivial
  • uses efficient <path> elements
  • is stroked rather than filled (at least as an option)
  • offers click-to-copy SVG on its site
  • is free and open source

It’s nice to see more sets embracing the idea of an SVG icon system where you simply place the SVG markup directly in your HTML.

This one comes from Mariana Beldi, who has written about how hand-drawing SVG can be far more efficient than relying on an illustration tool.
