A simple way to stylize your website is through the use of unique icon sets. Icons are also useful for responsive web design because the small images easily adapt to the site layout. Plus, you can further extend your brand look by incorporating these same buttons alongside your social media information in designs for postcard printing, for example, instead of just the usual text information.
This collection of icon sets features a series of interesting textures and designs that can take your design to a new level – or even be the base of the design as a whole. These are all free sets and can generally be easily modified in Photoshop to get a custom design or color scheme.
