Free Icon Sets and Tips to Create Your Own

DesignContest team has developed a great new series of designer icons featuring design tools most of you are familiar with: a paintbrush, paint roller, eye dropper, inkwell, ink splat, pens, pencils, easels; and even a Pantone color book and a pencil sharpener (to bring you back to old school days) and more familiar art & design related items.

We have made two great sets of icons for you to choose and use:

Filled Icons Set and Outline Icons Set present art and design tools, created with a simpler, outlined or filled up-to-date style that will be a perfect fit for your project. 

You may use those icons in any project of your choice, no matter personal or commercial: including web design, blogs, templates and print design; as long as the credit for their creation is fairly given to DesignContest.

Please, make sure you read the terms of use below, before using those icon sets.

DesignContest owns the copyrights to these icons, which means you cannot use them for the purpose of logo design or other design where your client will have the copyright over your work. The icons may not be resold, sub-licensed, rented, transferred or otherwise made available for use.

We hope you enjoy these awesome free icon sets that were designed especially for you! We’re working on creating more useful and cool sets of icons for our members, so give us your special requests!
