Only two sets are limited to private usage only, the rest is free for commercial use. From minimalistic and flat to photo-realistic and three-dimensional, any shape and color is represented.

Photoshop Tip #2: Extending Icon Sets

Especially collections of social media icons always lack some services. Networks such as Xing are oftentimes not included, other countries see other missing services. If the icons are created in the modern flat style, extending a set is fairly easy. Look at our example. Choose the Rounded Rectangle Tool to create a basic shape in the desired color and drop the logo on it. Complex 3D icons need a lot more effort, though. icon-anpassung
