Question Website Icons (XP Style) - Free or Cheap
I know people make their living making graphics but I am on a tiny bugdet. Was wondering if anyone knows where I can find free icons/images that have an Windows XP style or feel to them?

Examples of what I am trying to go for;
http://iconkits.com/xp_dev_1.html
http://interfacelift.com/icons-win/details.php?id=741
http://interfacelift.com/icons-win/details.php?id=901

I did find this.
http://www.apycom.com/xp-web-buttons/

Not too bad price-wise, $40 for a single website license but with all the money I've put into my website so far I would rather not have to shell out any more money than I need to.


Plus I would like to find images that look more like big icons rather than buttons. If I can find BOTH that would be a plus!

Any ideas?

Hey, take a look at IconFactory or make one yourself. Honestly, these things are hard to find for cheap.

First of all, I Thank You for your reply.

LOL! I figured that they wouldn't be cheap!

I do like a lot of what is at IconFactory but they are only for personal desktop use (unless you can get permission from them or the person who created the icons or buy a set).

As for making them myself, any suggestion on software? I don't have ANY graphics software.

I did find this for icons.

Would something creating from a program like this be usable for a Web page?

cosmos those are the icons that you already get with xp and then you can just copy it from your icon folder unstead of downloading them

hey there. I'll make you some if you want, for real cheap, im not sure if 1 USD for 1 icon is cheap enough, but i could do 50 cents if your budget requires. Really are they all is nice little shapes with gradient fills and strokes, lol. You just make them at say 200 x 200 andthen shrink them.

I wouldn't recommend that. It isn't right.

I do icon designs.. but they are $10 an icon.. which is very cheap for custom icons.. but it seems they are out of your budget.

Heres an example of an xp type style that I have made for a cpanel.

ridiculous? Not at all. Quality costs money. You can go on selling your $10 templates, however I create quality media solutions for companies providing professional products at a professional price. Now I know I'm not the best.. and I compensate for that.. a icon specialist will charge you along the lines of $15-20 for custom icons. However, you may be mistaken for icons that people resell? You can buy 30 icons for $50 but they in no way unique and you are only purchasing a liscence to use them.

Is it THAT obvious that I am on a uber-low budget?
