Category talk:Icons
I thing this category should be splitted into two: one containing computer icons (Category:Computer icons) and second containing icons-paintings (Category:Icons or Category:Icons (paintings). --Derbeth 09:03, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
- I splitted the category and put all Orthodox icons in Category:Icons (art). --AndreasPraefcke 19:58, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- thank you very much! I added Icon (computing) to this category, too, btw... -- Duesentrieb 20:20, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Hello, I am new to wikimedia commons, I have uploaded some Hexagonal Icons which I created. Can someone more experienced check they are in the right place? Thanks,

Favicons[edit]
The Wikimedia favicons should be categorized too, probably going in here or their own category. Erudecorp 17:33, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
- Exellent idea, but did anything ever happen to it? --71.225.51.30 20:34, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
Vector art versus Pixel art[edit]
It's a good idea to separate pixel art and vector art because there is a callous template ({{svg}} template:svg) that says that pixel art should be recreated as vector art. It's hard-headed to suggest such a thing about some images. Keeping pixel and vector art separate could help prevent this. Erudecorp 17:51, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
Free icons collections[edit]
I will try to maintain here a list of free icons collections:
- famfamfam (CC 2.5, more than 1000 icons) - the collection has a backup at http://code.google.com/p/famfamfam/ . The flags collection is already uploaded here: Famfamfam flag icons
- Kickstarter: Icons for iPhone apps (CC 3.0, 200 icons) - the download link is http://www.glyphish.com/download/glyphish-icons.zip
- Commons:Icons for railway descriptions - created by w:de:User:Axpde
- PhantomOpenEmoji collection - http://www.emoji-cheat-sheet.com/ - github link - KickStarter link
Images collections:
We should think about making backups of those icons collections in zip format, since they are small aynways. The "Icons for iPhone apps" archive has 733 KB for example. — Ark25 (talk) 20:39, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
