Total Web Elements Icon Collection

Introduction:
Without question, one of our most popular icon collections since the Iconfactory opened, has become the original Web Elements collection. The first set of 150 icons optimized for use on the World Wide Web have shown up everywhere across the net and we continue to get email every week from webmasters thanking us for producing this useful, freeware icon collection. It was only a matter of time before an addendum to the collection came along to expand the set, and now it is here.

The "Total" Web Elements collection contains 195 all new icons added to the original set bringing the total icons in the collection to over 300. Every icon in the set was created using the 216 color Web Palette to be optimized for use on the web. In this way any Web Element icon can be copied directly from the Macintosh desktop and pasted into a standard graphics editor (like Photoshop) and saved directly as GIF files for either the Mac or PC without loss of quality or annoying dithering. The set is divided into a number of categories including: arrows & pointers, email, web site organization, file types, users, Copland Elements and many more. We hope you find this expanded Web Elements set useful. Enjoy!
