Website: Iconshock ( http://www.iconshock.com/ )
Description: From their website – Iconshock offers the largest icon collection over the internet, with nearly 500,000 unique icons (they don’t include sizes or file types in this estimation, only different and unique icons) with the highest quality and most of them including source files to allow you to make your own changes. All those icons are included in about 200 different collections with different design styles to choose from according to your application GUI.

Icons & Logos
Iconshock.com offers great looking icons and logos for reasonable prices. Both their icons and logos are of very high quality. Source files are also included so that you can modify them as needed. Personally, I am a fan of the Super Vista and Lumina sets. Iconshock offers the ability to purchase single sets or create your own bundle of sets to purchase at a reduced price. You can also subscribe and get all the icons they offer plus any new icons added during your subscription. The website is quick and easy to navigate. If you need a custom logo or icons created specifically for you, Iconshock can do that as well. I have been a web developer for over 10 years, and their portfolio of custom work is AMAZING!
