A favicon (short for ‘favorites icon’), are little icons associated with a particular website or webpage, shown next to the site’s name in the URL bar of most browsers. The most common sizes for favicons are: 16×16, 32×32, 48×48, 64×64, 128×128. Genfavicon looks very clean and easy to use. You can create your favicon in 3 easy steps.
1. Browse to the file’s location on your computer to select the image or input the url of the image directly, and then press “Upload Image” button
2. Using your mouse, drag the shaded square over your image so it covers the part of the image you what to use to generate your favicon. Press “Capture and Preview”.
3. Preview your favicon and save your favicon by pressing “Download favicon”.

AW/Systems is offering a full set of professionally designed icons for web applications for all ASP.NET developers for free! There are more than 300 awsome icons in our package, and welcome you to use them in your web applications, both personal and commercial. The only thing they ask is that you put a link to aspneticons.com somewhere in your application. The icons look very nice and I can see them very useful for ASP.NET developers. It is really a shame that these icons are exclusively for the ASP.NET community.

You can find some nice free icon sets from DryIcons.com, the icons are carefully designed and developed by a team of professional web and graphic designers. They designed the DryIcons website to bring your applications the best professional appearance. All of their icon sets contain icons commonly available in 16×16, 24×24, 32×32, 48×48 pixel 32-bit transparency PNG format and 128×128 pixel Photoshop’s PSD image format.
All DryIcons are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License. This means that you can do pretty much everything with our icons and use them in any personal or commercial projects. However, you must include a link back to http://dryicons.com/ in your credits. I particular like the following sets of icons.
Ruby Multimedia icon set is the new creation of DryIcons’ laboratory. Using only two colors, red and white, we brought style and class to the next level. This set can find its use in lots of projects and applications.
The WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) Classic Icon Set is the first of the DryIcons’ WYSIWYG sequence icon sets, based on the ‘classic’ WYSIWYG look.
“Aesthetica” Icon Set was created to lend visual excitement to your projects. This set is fresh, stylish and modern, all mixed up in the perfect proportions.

Amazing set of 90 free vector icons, all in one EPS file. Enjoy and share this beautiful file with others, but please try to save the image on your server if linking to this file. Image is more than 1 MB. This set is ideal for creating web 2.0 icons, buttons and everything that your imagination can handle. They looks really good and scalable which is really a useful set of icons.
*** After investigation, I have discovered the original author of the icons are Yellow Icon, and they are not free. You can view it on http://yellowicon.com/stockicon/view/11/angular_stock_icons ***

Nyssa has created some pretty 3D RSS icons for us. There are six different icon colours (Orange, Green, Blue, Purple, Pink, Red). You’ll find each of the icons in .png format (each icon is 139×139 – not a standard size, but this is for web use rather than on the desktop). For those that don’t like the reflection, there is another zip file with them as well. I think the RSS icons looks really good with this 3D effect. I am going to use these RSS icons in my next web project, because I fed up with the standard normal style RSS icons already.
