Top 10 Icon Search Engines and Libraries

This is a new weekly section were we highlight the Top 10 resources from any given field from within the design community. These mini-articles will give us an opportunity to share some really useful resources which would be either-wise ignored and difficult to justify with a full blown article.

We start things off with our Top 10 Icon Search Engines.

Finding the perfect icon for any design project can be very difficult, especially when you have to to sift through the thousands upon thousands off icon-sets that are freely available. Not only will this waste you a huge amount of productive time, actually finding the icon you need is pretty darn close to being impossible.
Thankfully there are Icon Search Engines that will do all of the donkey work for you. By simply entering your search criteria (ie. home, email…) they will return every possible icon from there database that corresponds to your original search, making it much much easier to find the icon that you need. Below you will find our top 10 Icon Search Engines.
