Beautiful & Free Social Media Icons
I had some free time yesterday, so I decided to make some fresh new icons! Throughout my years as a web designer, I have always had trouble finding beautiful icons with no licensing restrictions to use in my templates. It’s especially difficult to find GPL-licensed (open source) graphics that can be used in WordPress Themes. Today I am pleased to release our second open-source social media icon set, for free! This set includes thirty-five 32×32 icons in PNG and PSD format. You can use these icons however you like. There are absolutely no restrictions. I hope that you resell and redistribute them in your themes and plugins. If you post these icons for free on your site, it would be great if you could link back to this post!
This social media icon set includes icons for the following applications:
Facebook, RSS, Twitter, Dribbble, Pinterest, Instagram, Tumblr, Evernote, LinkedIn, Vimeo, Digg, DeviantArt, Bebo, Flickr, Posterous, Blogger, WordPress, Delicious, SoundCloud, Yahoo, eMail, StumbleUpon, YouTube, MySpace, Last.fm, DesignFloat, Orkut, Behance, Netvibes, Reddit, Forrst, Grooveshark, Path, Google Plus and Picasa.
love your themes, love your site, love free things. Thanks for designing these, you guys rock! DocMurdock on Facebook
*am already a member of your site*
Nice icon set guys!
Oh, you should switch out your sidebar social icons with the new ones
Good point
I will update then shortly.
Nice social media icons set thanks for sharing this.
Agree. I’m going to use them on my site.
nice
Great set! Thanks a lot for sharing
Thanks for sharing.
Still no github? Please add a github!
Sorry about that. I will add it to the set if I have time.
That would be awesome, please do consider adding Steam as well.
Yeah, please do it asap.
Very nice Icons thank you very much for sharing.
Very awesome, and it includes all the sites I need! Thanks!
That very beautiful icons. Thank you very much. ^o^
Beautiful and not many packs have the updated logos for all these sites. Also, you have sites that other’s ignore… touché!
Great pack!
Beautiful and elegant as always, love it!
Looking great and released at a perfect time when I was looking for a set of social media icons for my blog.
Thanks these are great !
This is great!
Are we allowed to use that “Twitter” icon on our websites? I guess I have read from Twitter website that modifying their logo (or something like that) would deviate their trademark policy. But the icon set is spectacular!
I tried to make it as close to the real logo as possible. It’s hard to make it look perfect at such a small size.
Hey Nick, i finally joined your themes, im 15 year old, and i was insisting my dad to buy this themes for me since 2010… I love them! I just have a little question, how do you make that with photoshop i also want to learn to make some! Thanks, from Colombia!!! Elegantthemes Rules!
Brilliant stiff Nick, thanks. Good to see Pinterest is in the set.
This is a great looking sets of icons. Awesome that they are released for free, and GPL-licensed. Elegant icons, Nick,,
Nick, nice set! How about icon for vk.com?
Nice set. Thx for these great icons.
Nice work !
But you should use the most recent version of the Google+ logo, this one is the previous one
Agreed. That was my thought too, would love to see the latest updated Google+ logo. Cheers!
Agreed. I can’t find a complete set anywhere that has all the current logos, especially G+.
I shall make time to use them!
Thank you
Thanks for releasing this Nick! I added it to the list of GPL icon sets on the Theme Review Codex Page: http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Review#GPL-Compatible_Icon_Sets
Great, I hope they prove useful!
Thanks!
I love this pack and all of your themes!!!!

Right! Add SKYPE please!

can I ask what is the plugin you are using for social media that I can see under the posts?
Beautiful, colorful and very well-made icons. In an era of social networking is a useful thing.
Always nice to find free stuff, but it’s even nicer if these are also professional designed … Thanks!
Ummm… I’m a little angry to hear that you actually have free time! You should be designing and building new themes 24/7!

Nice icon set.
Hi,
thanks for your really nice icons. Can anyone tell me how to add this icons to the predefined shortcodes e.g. [digg]? Two more questions:
- before in the comments AJ Clarke spoke about social sidebar. I don’t have this in my theme (Flexible 1.0). Is it something special?
- I have a blog in two languages. I also have e.g. two Facebook pages. One in English and one German. When I write a post in German I would to have a Facebook button linking to my German FB-page and vice versa. Anyone an idea?
Thnx, Buschi
Thank you for your generosity in creating these icons and giving them away for free!
Thanks for the icon.. I will surely be using them asap
Great stuff! Thank you very much!
Thanks Nick. These look great. I’m also looking forward to the launch of Lucid. You are an incredible service provider that is always working on providing a better “next” product than your “last” product.
Very cool icons. Thanks
This is great! I suggest you to add icons for Formspring and Friendfeed.
Cool! I like it. I am going to use these.

Thanks for these icons – I really like them.
Awsome!!! Thank you for these ultimate social media icons.
I love your amazing social icons, thanks!!
I’ve just added them to my blog sidebar
Can anyone give me a link of how to actually install these icons? I’m using a social media widget and would like to add these as custom icons? Is there a custom icons URL? Any help would be great
Same question. Can someone post a link on how to upload these icons . Also, do we need a plug in to display them?
Those are just images. You would need to use plugin that supports adding custom images, or hand coding them yourself. It would not be that hard.
Agree…how can I upload these to use them?
These are some really great social sharing icons, always a fan of elegant design!
Thank you for this great, free set! I’ve been looking for a quality Pinterest button everywhere. I’ll be using these on my site.
Cool! I will definitely be using them! Thanks!
Nick, add social icons vk.com & odnoklassniki.ru , They are popular in Russia.
Great icons! Maybe you could add one for Rebelmouse?
Thanks so much!! Specially for SoundCloud & Pinterest icons!
SoundCloud is one of the biggest producers social network, and I don’t understand why graphic designers not includes it on icons pack!?!?

Hi Nick, awesome icon set. I’m using it on both of my blogs.
Waiting for “FourSquare” icon. Hope you get some time to add it here.

Inviting icons.. Love to use it.. looking forward for the next set of icon.. I’m excited.!!
Can use the icons in applications and in what conditions?
Hey!
Congratulations for the icons… they are really great. I made a slightly different version based on these icons.. in short just the inner logo and I would like to include them in one of my themes (resell). I would gladly place a link back to these url. So is that really ok ?
Thank you!
Yep that is fine.
Thanks!
Thank you so much! This is great!
Such great icons!! Thanks so much for these- we’ve been searching for a nice set and haven’t come across such a complete one. We might’ve put a few too many- but who can resist when there’s pinterest AND instagram AND youtube…
Thanks for the icons! Fantastic look and feel, don’t want to use any others!
Beautiful Icon set! They have such a great feel to them and the set that includes the additional popular social networking icons like Pintrest & Instagram! Really great work.
Any chance for a Cinemagr.am icon?
Great icons! I’ve put together a blueprint plugin to expedite implementing them during site design. The plugin details can be seen at: http://www.fgsd.com.au/projects/socialsprite-a-css-sprite-blueprint-plugin/ – I’ve credited your site and linked back here. Hope that was ok and that others find the plugin useful
Great icons! thank you
Hi Nick! Great job, as usual.
Question: Is it OK to use the images provided with the sample data of the themes in my blog? They are lovely and would like to publish them adorning my content.
I mean are they free for use as the Icon set is?
loving this set! Going to be a great addition to the site
Cheers and appreciate all the effort that you have obviously put into this.
Thank you so much for this!
I don’t know how I missed this post, but I did. I have your original set, but it doesn’t have Pinterest, so I went a’Googlin’…and bam! There you were with this new set and they’re even more gorgeous than the first!

Those icons are wonderful! Can you do an “Etsy” icon?
Very nice.
Love the set, second on the Etsy icon needed
Would love that!
These are fantastic – and great to see a Pinterest icon, which a lot of free sets don’t include. Thank you for your generosity in making these freely available – I’ll be using them on my blog. I’ll pop a link back to your site as a thank-you.

Would like to add a slide share icon to our webpage to match all the other ones which we are already using. Do you have one? Greetings from Munich, Patricia
Just perfect, thanks a lot!
I absolutely LOVE this set and have used it in a number of applications, but I do have a request; Can you make an Etsy and a Yelp Icon? Or even just provide a psd file that can be modified? I’ve tried to make icons for the two that match this set, but it just doesn’t work as well!
Love this set! Is it possible to make a quora icon?
Fantastic icons, maybe the best set.
Very nice set of icons. Thank you for sharing.
Very cool!
Thank you for sharing, Beautiful!
Beautiful icons. Thanks so much for making them available for free use. I’m going to use a couple of them on my site and link back to you.
These are really beautiful icons, BUT, I really wish you could include soundcloud and reverbnation!! Musicians would really appreciate it.
thanks for such an awesome social media icons

I love these. One question: have you ever considered making a social media icon for a Facebook page? I have both a page and a personal profile, and I’d love to be able to have icons for both on my website – not have to have the same icon twice, or choose whether I want to link to my profile or the page. Any thoughts?
Can I use the icons in a commercial website?
Yes you can.
wow , thankyou !!! great post!
Super I will use them for sure.
Really great icons, they look amazing on my website! Thank you!
Looks great! Been having a heck of a time trying to open the PSD in CS6, though. It takes about 3 minutes, and then Ps just freezes up. :’(
