So, what is waiting for you here? Lots of kitschy, trashy or simply funny icons available for free download. No commonplaces are allowed. Only cool, creative and unique icon kits you’ll fall in love with as soon as you see them.
[related_posts]Before we go any further, we want to set something straight. All designers use icons but what is their purpose onsite? Are there any restrictions on icon usage that may decrease their efficiency?
Why icons are so popular that you can find them on each and every site?
The answer is simple as a pie. They are a universal communication language, a kind of web design Esperanto. Speaking metaphorically, graphic icons allow you to build your Babylon tower as people don’t need to know the language of your website to understand where to click. If there were no icons in your design kit, you would have had to replace them with words. The words are not so fun, not so intuitive; they are processed slower than images and make the design cluttered. If these arguments are not enough for you, we can add that words can be rather confusing, especially not for native speakers of the language your content is written in.
However, even the most positive and efficient object has its flip side that can serve its owner a bad service. So do the icons.
Here are some warnings for designers as to tricky icons’ character.
- Using too many icons makes them useless. They cease to draw users’ attention and become simple decorative elements.
- Free icon kits are great time savers; they are recognizable and habitual to the users. But don’t be afraid to modify them a bit according to your website’s layout style. This way you’ll make your web page not simply good or not bad, but unique and awesome. Do you feel the difference?
- Don’t forget about responsive iconography, as there is no guarantee that the icon that works well at 200px will still clearly convey the message at 12px.
- Try not to break the existing user patterns. Creativity is always a welcome guest, but altering the action behind the icons, users have already got used to is mazy and impairs the usability. Whether you like it or not, but you can’t step too far away from common icons standards.
A brief conclusion:
The goal of this blog post is first of all refilling your web design kit with new free kitschy, trashy and funny icons that are still usable. The next notion we wanted to render is that you should be careful with the icons you apply on your site. Think well what are their purposes and functions. Do you remember the violent discussion of hollow icons usability? This is one more proof that there are no minor details in web design and its globe is rotating around the user and its utmost comfort.
