However, they can become essentially invisible black icons on a dark background (or vice versa), so often come in light/dark variants. Monochrome icons are less damaged by resizing. On the minus side, the outlines look noticeably blurry when rescaled instead of picking the nearest integer size.

On the plus side, they look decent on any color background (though Humanity icons have too light-colored borders, which can make light icons hard to see on light backgrounds). Practically no modern icon themes released within the past few years have toolbar icons with outlines and colored fills. Tango (last updated 2009), Humanity, and Oxygen (forgot what Gnome icons are called) are, in a way, the last of breed for multi-colored icons. I've looked into Linux XDG icon packs as a source of freely licensed in-app icons optimized for multiple pixel resolutions. Or if some designer working with them upstreams their additions. So if this is open source maybe some designer would accept commission work - eg few hundred $ per icon/or w/e per set and then that gets added to open pack I like the idea. We ended up removinh their icon set after paying upper 500$ tier - it's just not worth the hassle. Also they expose a private npm repo that requires per user token (per licence) with account for each developer (even those that just run frontend). I was recently involved in a project which used streamline icon pack, and while that set is huge and I don't mind paying for value - their licensing scheme is ridiculous - 3 licence tiers where the limitations are arbitrary and ridiculous and actually useful licence option is "contact us for a quote". I'm not a designer and haven't looked into alternative but this sounds like a good effort and I like the look. I just read through their announcement and it seems reasonable, material icons are overused and OSS icons available don't provide design guidelines for extending (which they do). And I agree that you could probably crush them down more with an optimizer, but so can I. I’m no expert on licensing, so double check that’s right. I think maybe if the bottom “keyboard” part extended a little past the screen on the left and right it would feel better? Not sure. Up close it’s a heart, but from further away the top part gets a little lost.įinally, the laptop icon feels slightly off to me. I think the heart might need a bit more dip at the top, too. Perhaps make unlock a bit more obvious? Shorten the open loop area a little more? If I had to be nit-picky, my feedback would be: the lock and unlock icons are a bit too samey at small sizes on my non-high-res screen. In the good days of the Internet, the response would be: “that’s so cool! Great job!” I think that’s warranted here.
Or maybe you wanted them for yourself and decided to be kind and open them up for everyone. It’s fine for people to ask why, but sometimes a project is just a project.
