After the showcase of a collection of 3D icon designs, this time we would like to show something quite small but extremely beautiful. Like I said some of my previous articles, icon designing now has two directions: one is for huge icon designs with a lot of details, the other is for mini icons which are able to save space and give enough information. For example, the sizes of Windows icons, initially in Windows 95 there are only 2 sizes in each icon (16px and 32px). Now Windows 7 has been released, the icon sizes are from 16px to 256px. However, for web design or desktop application design, small icons are somehow still very useful, especially for listings and toolbar buttons.

To me, mini icons are all about sharpness and maintenance of details. Also the consistency of style is important. Here we summarised a number of very nice mini icon sets for you. Most of them are free resources, but please check the author website for the appropriate licensing information before you use them.

Here we are pleased to present a set of 20 free icons Shiny. This set has been also published on Icondock as a free icon set. So firstly a big thank to Nick La from Icondock. This free set includes 20 icons that you can use for both personal and commercial projects. Resell and distribution is not allowed. The icons are available in three different sizes: 16px, 32px, and 64px in 32-bits transparent PNG format.

Some of the icons have been used in the new theme of Double-J Design website already. This can be a good example to show that how to use these icons. In this set, designs of different sizes are treated differently, especailly the smallest 16×16 pixels icons. In this way, the sharpness of edges and details have been maintained in small sizes of icons.

Below you can find a full previews for all the icons and the download link.

Double-J Design is focusing on designing stock icons and custom icons for web or desktop applications, printing projects, etc. Also at Double-J Design, you can find loads of free icon sets available for download. Besides doing designs, Double-J Design also reviews a large number icon designs and web/desktop GUI design everyday. Therefore, we write about design tutorials, design ideas and nice collection of good designs. Today we picked up about a number of sets of very nice 3D icon designs which might be useful in the stage of styling or inspiration in your design procedures. Some of them have been featured in a number of design blogs but here what we picked up are all about 3D designs. To me, a good 3D icon set design is all about the consistency of style or perspective. I have discussed some issues in some icon design forum about 3D icon design like what tools they normally use to design 3D icons, how to keep the same style within one set. I would like to hear some feedback or comment on these issues here as well.
