Why Stock Icons?
Work as a designer for a few years and you get around the various stock sites. What always annoyed me though, was some of these outragous prices that you’d have to dish out for quality icons. So about a year ago i decided to embark on my own quest for selling and distributing quality icon sets at prices regular guys like you and me could pay. Fastforward a year and many a’nights working on and off the project and i’m proud to unveil my very own small stock icon site.
First Icon set: Vital Vector
So i’m opening IconPark.net with a huge vector base set that i’ve been working on for the better part of 6 months. Having a broad and reusable base set of vector icons is a lifesaver in many projects. I find myself using the Vital Vector set several times a week.
‘Vital Vector’ is a vector base set with 255 icons!
With a whooping total of 255 icons, this set can be used in all sorts of situations. Each of the icons sport my own take on classic conventions with a smooth rounded twist for that modern look. Combine, cut and paste these babies into many more icons and build your own new adaptions.
So really, how much?
This is the best part, i’m gonna sell this huge set for the industry-shaking price of 29 dollars, less than a tank of gas. You can compare this with the price of a similar icon set, the popular “Helveticons” which will set you back 279 bucks of your hard earned money.
I really wanted to make this set affordable for everyone
So i’m not kidding when i tell you that i really wanted to make these icon sets affordable for everyone. I’d like to be gone with the industry snobbery. When it comes to sharing resources like this, we all have more fun things to spend our money on than overpriced icon sets.
Go grab it and let me know what you think
Head over to IconPark.net and check out the brand new site - and if you feel like it, grab the Vital Vector icon set - it really is a tremendous resource.
Go preview the icon set over at IconPark.net
In the Future i intend to bring similarly priced raster and vector sets to IconPark - so stay tuned. If you like the idea please share it with your peers, blog, tweet or psychicly communicate it. I’d love to hear what you think of all this in the comments.

I love the simplicity and the pictogram’ish feeling. Nice work!
A very good looking page. Maybe I will buy some Icons
“which will set you back 278 bucks of your hard earned money.”
The image says 279 bucks.
The new site looks fantastic! Very awesome work - and yes, very awesome prices
Nice catch Martin - should be fixed now. Thanks
Looks great and the price is definitively nice. I have no use for it at the moment, but I’ve bookmarked for later use.
Looks sweet, buddy. They sure have that round cute’ish feel of Flarup in them
Good luck with the website. When I actually start earning a bit of money, I’ll come back to shop 
Wow! Sounds awesome! You do great work so… I know your icons will be top notch. I wish you the best!
Great work and really nice site (iconpark.net).
A. I love your work. LOVE it. B. I design but can’t illustrate, so I have to buy icon sets and do so all the time - this price is amazing. C. I will probably buy this black set at some point, but REALLY love your colored icons and look of your sites and app… I need those! I purchased all the Coquette series from DryIcons, if you want to know the sorts of things I routinely need. Hope you sell a ton of these and the Outside app - it is really awesome!
