Should you use stock icons?
There is definitely no lack of online businesses that provide stock icons; however, people often try to analyze if using these stock icons will prove advantageous to their web designs and applications; so, here is a look at how you can benefit by using stock icons.If you are into website designing or writing a program, you must already know that icons are often the things that add to the quality of your site; they can turn your program or site from being merely functional to one that is is professional, easy to use and attractive.
However, creating your own graphics can be incredibly taxing and of course time consuming. If you hire the services of a web graphics designer, you will end up paying him a bundle for the graphics. As opposed to this, you can get similar quality from web graphics sold online for a relatively low cost. A set of stock icons will generally have more than a hundred icons, sold in various graphic formats that are useful for depicting the functions that are commonly observed on most websites and applications; for instance, help, copy, paste, lock etc.
If you cannot get graphics that meet your needs, you can always contact one of these online establishments and ask them to make exclusive icons for you; this is by far the most feasible option; to state it factually, the the person who created the other icons in the series will be in a better position to hold on to some degree of similarity in all the icons in a series devoted to a particular theme.
The second doubt that most people ponder over is whether they should choose the commercial varieties or pick free graphics, so here are some thoughts on the positive attributes of commercial stock icons vis a vis the free images:
Price: The rate of an collection of graphics is generally in the vicinity of $100 and more based on the number of images. However, free icon collections will normally have infringement related issues and/or you will have to offer accreditations when they are put to use on your site.
Size: Commercial quality con sets can be purchased in a variety of sizes, so even though you buy a single icon, you will get them in an assortment of sizes such as 16x16, 24x24 etc; you can also buy them in different states such as disabled, hot etc. However; free images can only be downloaded in a single size and state
License: You may encounter some problems with the licenses that are free; you will not have the liberty to make changes to the icons nor will you have the permission to use them multiple times but with professional icon collections, you can utilize the stock icons whenever and wherever you want.
Usability: Professional icon sets will normally feature quite a few graphics to suit all your application and website design needs ; however, with free graphics even if you can manage to get fairly good graphics, they are far and few between this would mean that you will not be able to incorporate them in your applications.
