Icons for personal or professional development projects

While this maybe out of the realm of the beginning web developer, IconBuffet offers a series of icon sets that can be used for a variety personal or professional web/software projects. Icon sets contain from 60 to 70 icons, with each icon available in three sizes (16,24,36) and in six file types (png, tiff, bmp, gif, ico, icn). Prices for sets range from $5 all the way up to $240. Of course the higher end icons display far more sophistication then their less expensive cousins. The icon sets represent icons that are used for the most common software/web functionality: home, up, down, mail, admin, web, report, etc.

Icon Buffet also offers a Free Delivery service. Sign up with IconBuffet and receive a set of free icons each month. These free sets consist of approx 11 icons that come in the three sizes and six file types. These icons are typically of the specialty variety. For example, my recent delivery was the Tower Grove Promenade. It includes icons representing: bride, groom, bandstand, dog, duck, etc. This particular icon set was inspired by Tower Grove Park in Saint Louis. Though there is an icon for a ninja in the set which makes me wonder what exactly inspired its creation (do ninjas frequent the park?!? )! Anyway, with each delivery I have the ability to send the set to other Icon Buffet members (or non-members). Thus, I can grow my free icon set by sharing with others. Don’t have a need for a ninja? Share with someone who has the Oslo Finance set and set a set of icons representing finance.
