I’ve had a couple of projects that I’ve been working on that required some simple free vector icons and some sort of hand-drawn arrows. A weird combination, I know, but I came across a few different vector icon downloads that I found to be pretty snappy.
Have you downloaded any awesome free vector icons?
Share a link the comments!
Here’s what I’ve found:
IKONS
264 free vector icon from Piotr Kwiatkowski?
Yes, please! They come packed in SVG, AI, ESP, PSD, CSH and PNG formats.
Hand-drawn Vectors
I’ll be using these 120+ hand-drawn elements for Facebook images and more!
Why spend the time sculpting these elements if you can just drop these in?
Download this, you’ll use these more than you think. 🙂
Simplicio
Smashing Magazine released this icon set. Need I say more?
I didn’t think so. I patricianly dig the RSS feed icon.
Level Up!

The thing I rely on most is Font Awesome. Download and install it as a font, then use the cheat sheet to copy/paste vector icons right into Photoshop. I also have it installed on all the sites I build.
