Several members (notably , and ) collected a lot of icon packs — useful as raw sources, but choosing and using icons well requires a few practical rules that weren’t fully covered in the thread. The short checklist below helps pick icons that work across devices, stay legal, and fit into a real project.

  • License: confirm commercial use and attribution requirements before embedding any pack. “Free” can mean anything from public-domain to personal-only.
  • Format: prefer SVG for UI icons (scales cleanly, small, easy to recolor). Provide PNG/ICO only when a specific legacy target requires it.
  • Consistency: pick icons that share the same grid, stroke weight, and corner style (16/24/32 px grids are common). Mixing styles looks unprofessional.
  • Implementation: inline SVG or an SVG <symbol> sprite is the most flexible (styling, accessibility, caching). Icon fonts and raster sprites are less ideal for semantics and accessibility.
  • Accessibility and semantics: decorative icons should use aria-hidden="true"; informative icons need role="img" plus an aria-label or accessible text. Ensure sufficient color contrast when an icon conveys meaning.
  • Optimization and workflow: run SVGO on SVGs, strip metadata, keep a clear naming scheme (eg. icon-search.svg), and store source vectors in your design system.

Example of a minimal inline SVG sprite and reuse:

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" style="display:none">
  <symbol id="icon-search" viewBox="0 0 24 24">
    <!-- path data -->
  </symbol>
</svg>

<svg class="icon" width="24" height="24" aria-hidden="true">
  <use href="#icon-search"></use>
</svg>

Final notes: prefer SVG for modern, responsive UIs; verify licensing for commercial work; keep icon sets tied to the same visual system; and automate optimization (SVGO, PNGQuant) in the build pipeline so icons stay fast and consistent.
