20. October 2008 by Janko in Freebies | tags: icons

Handycons is a free, hand drawn social media icon set that contains 12 icons. Package contains icons for del.icio.us, Digg, Mixx, DesignBump, StumbleUpon, Reddit, Developer Zone, DesignFloat, Technorati, Twitter and RSS feed & Email icon, of course. All icons are available in four sizes: 16x16, 24x24, 32x32 and 48x48 pixels.

UPDATE (march 2009): There is Handycons2 icon set released in February 2009

I made it using ArtRage and my Wacom Intuo 3 ;)

Dear readers,

This post inexplicably vanished for a couple of days. I managed to restore the post, but all of your great comments disappeared permanently. Windows Live Writer is the one to blame for this. I will no longer use it!

Sorry

Since you lost all your comments I thought I could come back to say how awesome I think these are. I'm still planning a free wordpress theme around them.

Janko

Dmitry, thanks.

Angie, can't wait to see the theme

Thank you man.

Awesome! Any chance you could design some Facebook, MySpace, Flickr, and LinkedIn ones with the same style?

Janko

21 Nov 2008 at 08:28

Todd, I definitively plan to create Handycons II that will include much more. One of my readers left the comment in which he suggested more that 20 more icons, but unfortunately something strange happened with this post several days ago and I lost all of my comments. Still, Handycons II will be ready.

If you have more suggestions feel free to leave here!

Great Work !!! Really cool icons.... Just need to work a bit on the Twitter icon.

Will use them on my Wordpress blog......

Janko

24 Nov 2008 at 10:46

Thanks, guys!

Jash: Thanks. Regarding the twitter icon, I made it look "naive" intentionally. I just like the way my son draws so I was inspired by his work

AAAGH! These are amazing! I only wish they also included a Facebook icon. Alas, I can't use them because I would never be able to replicate the look myself. Great job!

Edo: Sure, I'm working on Handycons II

Dean

I'm not sure if I'm the only one who's getting this, but whenever I click on the download link, an errror pops up saying

R6002
-floating point not loaded

It might be my machine, though, since all the other commenters didn't seem to have any problems downloading it. This icon set looks really cool, and I'm looking to use it on the next version of my blog theme.

Janko

26 Jan 2009 at 02:47

Dean, I'll send you on your email. Thanks for choosing Handycons

This is a fantastic work, really nicely done. But what about poor lil' old facebook? Any chance you could make one more icon (or maybe explain how you work this kind of icon voodoo)?

Avinash Kaushik

19 Feb 2009 at 08:24

Could I please add my voice as well for icons for:

LinkedIn, Facebook, Flickr, and FriendFeed

I list these (and Twitter) as text links on my blog, would love to replace them with your icons (so gorgeous!).

Thanks,

Avinash.

Janko

Thanks, everyone!

Andrew, Avinash: Thanks for the suggestions, I will release Handycons II soon wit all of these icons

Good work Janko . Are you using digital pen or just drawing and scanning them to file ??. But I wonder how the clarity and size of the files are maintained simultaneously .

Jaky

Superb! Mind blowing icons. You can also create some more using different brush strokes and styles

These are really nice. So much more creative and artistic in style than the usual computer generated icon designs that you see all over the web. Nice work.

Anyway, thanks again...very cool. I'll be sure to tell people about them.
