Icon Inspiration - 300 icons from over 1800 websites

300 Images From 1800 Sites is a collection compiled by Ro London who started gathering little, iconesque web images for himself so that he could compare, contrast, and study the techniques used by other graphic artists on the web. His initial pool of images looked so interesting that he decided to continue methodically hunting and capturing the icons for a public display piece.



"The purpose of this document is not to copy the intellectual property of others, but rather as a jumping-off point for your own unique web graphic projects. It's for Brainstorming, if you will."


He roughly estimates that for every six web sites he scoured, he was able to acquire one graphic image. He visited only Fortune 1000 company sites, major online retailers, well known blogs, top advertising, publishing, and design agencies, technology and software industry leaders, and the very largest online news publishers. Approximately 1800 web sites later, he had this collection of 300 of the most interesting, unique, and beautiful formations of pixels to display.



The collection covers arrows, posts, mail, comments, bullets, print, carts and bags.
