A new and upcoming graphics design initiative called “The Noun Project” is going to make a lot of Windows Phone 7 designers and developers very happy.
The project’s mission is to collect, organize and make available an extensive library of free pictograms/icons for common nouns and concepts that make up the universal visual language, which also happens to be a major theme in Microsoft’s Metro design style. The best part, all icons are guaranteed to be free.
Still in it’s early stages, the website currently offers a solid set of 500+ icons. Unfortunately searching and categories are still being developed so it makes finding icons somewhat difficult in the meantime, but nevertheless fun to browse. They also plan to accept third-party contributions and host competitions to continue growing their collection.
The website’s creator is currently accepting community funding on Kickstarter.com. If you pledge $30 or more, you even get a free shirt printed with up to 3 icons of your choice.
omg i love to make funny misinterpretations of these type of signs…
I don’t know about you guys, but i find these things extremely useful!
Love the project, very useful!
SWEET!!!! Somebody pinch me!
But why are we going back from full color icons to monochrome icons? And thinking they look cool and beautiful? Why don’t you adopt this logo?:http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/7573/monochromezheng.png
So change the color on the icons? Its not rocket science.
