Should you use stock icons?
There is definitely no dearth of websites that provide stock icons; however, people often wonder if using these stock icons will prove advantageous to their website design and software programs; so, here is some information on how you can benefit by using stock icons.If you are into website designing or writing a program, you probably know that pictorial depictions of the various functions are often the major impact creators; they can take your software or website from being only functional to one that is is professional looking, user friendly and attractive.
However, creating your exclusive stock icons can be incredibly taxing and of course a task that will take up a lot of your time. If you enlist the help of a web graphics designer, you will land up spending a bundle for the icon collection. On the contrary, you can procure similar quality from icon collections available online for a percentage of the price. A set of stock icons usually has 100 or more images, sold in various graphic formats that are useful for showing the functions that are commonly observed on every second websites and applications; for example, help, lock , copy, paste and others.
If you cannot buy icons that meet your needs, you can always approach one of these websites and tell them to create a custom icon for you; this is probably the most suitable option; simply, the original graphics artist will display a level of comfort with the theme which will help him to retain some semblance of consistency in all the graphics of a series devoted to a particular theme.
The second query that several people think about is whether they should choose the commercial varieties or pick free icon sets, so here are some thoughts on the benefits of commercial graphics as compared to the free pictures:
Rate: The price of an icon collection is generally in the vicinity of $100 and above depending on the number of icons. However, free images will usually have infringement related issues and/or you will need to include accreditations while you use them on your site.
Size: High quality image collections are available in a plethora of sizes, so even though you pay for one icon, you will get them in several sizes like 16x16, 24x24 etc; you can also get them in different states ;for instance, disabled, hot etc. But unlike these; free images can only be downloaded in a one size and state
License: You may have to face some concerns with the licenses that are free; you will not have the liberty to modify the icons in anyway nor will you have the permission to utilize them as many times as you want but with commercial stock icons, you can utilize the stock icons innumerable times in the most esoteric contexts.
Utility: Good icon libraries will generally contain quite a few graphics to suit all your software and web designing expectation but with free icons even if you do procure fairly good graphics, these are very rare this would mean that you may find it very hard to make use of these graphics when designing applications or websites.
