Should you use stock icons?
There is surely no shortage of online businesses that offer stock icons; however, people often wonder if including these stock icons will make a difference to their website template and software programs; so, here is an analysis of how you can benefit by using stock icons.If you are a web designer or are a programmer adept at application programming, you must have a fair idea about how icons are often the major impact creators; they can turn your application or site from being just functional to one that is has a professional touch, user friendly and attention grabbing.
However, designing your personal graphics can be nothing short of harrowing and of course a task that will take up a lot of your time. If you get in touch with a web graphics designer, you will land up spending a bundle for the icons. On the other hand, you could procure the precise quality from icon collections available online for a relatively low cost. A collection of stock icons will generally have 100 or more images, sold in a variety of file formats that are useful for depicting the functions that are popularly seen on several websites and applications; for example, copy, paste, lock and help etc.
If you cannot get stock icons that live up to you expectations, you can simply contact one of these online establishments and ask them to design specialized graphics for you; this is probably the most feasible option; to put it simply, the the person who created the other icons in the series will display a level of comfort with the theme which will help him to hold on to a modicum of commonality in all the graphics of a series devoted to a specific theme.
The next doubt that most people think about is whether they should select the commercial graphics or pick free collections, so here are some thoughts on the positive attributes of commercial stock icons vis a vis the free images:
Cost: The rate of an collection of graphics is to the tune of $100 and above depending on the quantity of icons. However, free icon collections will normally have copyright problems and/or you will have to offer accreditations when they are put to use on your site.
Size: High quality image collections can be purchased in a plethora of sizes, so although you purchase one icon, you should get them in different sizes like 16x16, 24x24 etc; you can also get them in different states such as disabled, hot etc. But unlike these; free images are only available in a one size and state
License: You may encounter some concerns with the free license; you may not be allowed to modify the icons in anyway nor will you have a free hand to use them multiple times but with commercial stock icons, you can incorporate the images in web designing whenever and wherever you want.
Utility: Good icon libraries will generally contain quite a few graphics to suit all your software and web designing expectation but with free graphics even if you do find good quality images, these are very rare this would mean that it may be impossible to use them in your application creation and web designing.
