2016 Revisited: The 100 Best Free Icon Packs of the Year

There is no point in eulogizing and promoting icons since everyone knows that these tiny, in majority cases increasingly plain and simplified pictograms are simply indispensable when it comes to creating web or app interfaces. Can you imagine tab bar navigation without a set of vigilantly crafted well matched compact icons? Or e-commerce theme without a small trolley carriage in the upper right corner? I very much doubt it. These tiny visual cues that unobtrusively portray operations and enhance the site or application, making it friendly and intuitive to us, are just everywhere. So we just could not ignore and bypass them.

If you are currently in search of some icons for your project or artwork then we invite you to take a look at a ton of icons that were released for free during the last year. Some of them are elegant and subtle thanks to the vigilant line style realization; while others are bold, solid and visually heavy thanks to the outstanding flat or vector realization. Some of them are primitive; others are complex and intricate. Our collection covers icons from various categories. Here you will find a perfect pair for a sport, medicine, food, or corporate themed website, personal portfolio or e-store. Actually, there is lots of interesting hidden inside. Examine our compilation to find out more.
