21 Best Icon Sets for Designing Web Apps
When designing a web application, it’s important to make sure the user interface is easy to use. Using icons along side navigation links is one key ingredient to achieving this. But Instead of creating icon sets from scratch, which can be very time consuming, why not use icons that have already been created for you. Here are some of the best icon sets out there for use in web application designs.

January 2, 2009THEODIN – Glad you like them. That is exactly why I created this post. It seems like most of the icons you see today look amazing, but have limited “real world” use. These look great and can be used in many different kinds of applications.
