The Noun Project

The Noun Project is a simply and thoughtfully designed collection of icons and symbols that aim to “enhance the world’s visual language.” The site is as simple and elegant as the project — I love their treatment of the instant search. The one-color, vector, scalable icons are downloadable for free, and most appear to be licensed through public domain (although the site warns that some are subject to copyright). It’s pretty comprehensive, and growing – everything from “pedestrian” to “fish cleaning” to “donut” is available and searchable by name or category. As of today, the collection contains over 600 icons.
