   These website all show the icons wonderfully. They seem to give out the most appeal when they appear on clean basic sites with very little photographic imagery. I really like ‘I Am Tiago,’ ‘Studio Nudge’, ‘Enixel’ and ‘Syropia’. All of them use icons really well and to the sites advantage.

   At the risk of blowing our own trumpet, our website uses some nice illustration-style icons. Check out https://www.pragmaticdesign.co.uk/services/ and the dropdown menus.

    I adore icons as they are informative and appealing =) Presence of well drawn icons would be one of the signs of usability for me =)

    This is exactly how I like my icons, clean and simple. Very useful list.

    I would like to add my 2 cents. I have recently been busy browsing and adding free icons to http://www.creattor.com. They are royalty free – everything I added was free for commercial use. You could try getting some icon packs and make your own template, like the sites above.

    We create our own custom icons too. What do you think? https://www.unleadedsoftware.com/capabilities

    The icons used on these websites are great. Websites also look clean and make icons standout more.I like Studio Nudge, Syropia and Enixel the most.
