Web Design
Portrait for EnvatoBy Envato  |  Updated October 21, 2020

There has been a growing transition within web design from using standard graphical and font icons to using inline SVGs instead.

The Filament Group seemed to get the ball rolling when they published an article that demonstrated how much better it is using SVG in comparison to font icons. And Chris Coyier, who has been a big proponent of icon fonts for a number of years, has said that “using inline SVG and the <use> element to reference an icon is a superior system.” And just in case these guys haven’t convinced you that SVG icons are the way to go, you should have a read of Ian Feather’s 10 reasons for switching from an icon font to SVG, he’ll convince you.

You guys though are not here to discuss the pros and cons of SVG icons, you’re here for the resources! Don’t worry, we have plenty for you. In total we have found 25 professionally designed icon sets, that are all available in SVG format, and are all waiting for you to download and use them in your next web project. As well as SVG, the vast majority of the icon sets come packaged with a variety of formats: PSD, AI, EPS, and web fonts.
