The website IconFinder.com has become a staple source of icons for designers of web and computer content.

We can safely say this is the best place online to search, sort, filter, and find icons for any occasion.

The site was until more recently located at the .net address, but seems to be doing well enough now that they could afford to buy the .com version that looked to be parked or squatted on.

OK, so whats so good about this site that we would take the time to write an article about? Well we’ll tell you about some of there features.

At the time of this writing the site currently has 168,162 icons in its database. 168 thousand icons. That’s insane.

The have a nice creative commons filter option that lets you choose to show only icons that can be used commercially (ie: part of an application that is to be sold), or all icons. (cc and non cc items)

Icon Background Color
