Silk Companion 1 (more Silk icons)

Mark James (FamFamFam) created a great set of 1,022 silky-smooth 16x16 true-colour icons in PNG format, aptly named Silk Icons.

My set was fuelled by a need for a additional icons and variations in the same format. I had hoped to create more original icons in the same style however time constraints meant that majority of the 460+ icons are derivations and recompositions of the original set.

Excellent work. Silk has probably become the de facto icon set for the Internet and whilst Mark has decided to give up adding to the set, it's good to see that somebody else has decided to extend it and continue the great work. Can't believe nobody else has commented on this yet!

Really good pack, many times I was searching for a icon on the silk pack and it wasn't there, but now we have more icons, thank you :D

Awesome. We use Silk for some of the icons in Interclue (a firefox addon) and we're always adding new stuff to it, so these will likely come in very handy. Cheers!

Grazie per il tuo lavoro! - Thanks for your work!

I always wondered why famfamfam didn't continue developing what as you say has become the defacto icons of the interwebs. Three cheers for your excellent extention work.
12 DeWitt Mar 11th, 2008 at 13:03

I already know and use the FamFamFam-Icons, and yours are a great addition, thanks a lot!

Fantastic work, I've found what I was missing in "Silk icons" :)
Great work!
16 Michael Johne Jul 28th, 2008 at 14:07

Really great work! I'm still waiting for "Silk Companion 2". ;-)
17 Luke Sep 22nd, 2008 at 03:09

This is awesome, are there any more in the works??
18 Damien Guard Sep 22nd, 2008 at 04:09

There are no more in the works - can't think of anything else to add. If you have some specific ideas request them here! :)

Simply because I'm looking for them and attempting to avoid building them myself:

* Sent Mail (envelope with an arrow on the right facing right?)
* Received Mail (envelope with an arrow on the right facing left?)

Great work Damien! I'm impressed :)

On that requesting... I'm looking for a video cassette icon in this style. Can you help me? Other portable media would be great too (like audio cassette, laserdisc, etc...). Well, if you have time to do it, that is ;)

Great work! Thanks so much for your work in this space. I would suggest some lock modifications such as coloring? Maybe a grey version?

I've packaged your Icon Set with a custom Ext JS Extension to manage Icons.

A link to your site was posted accordingly.

Thanks,

Thanks for a additional icons.

Food and Health icons would be nice. Things like plate, fork, fruits, protein, carbs, scale etc.
24 Paul J. Lewis Feb 3rd, 2009 at 08:02

Cool. Thanks for the extra icons. Nice.

Perhaps someone should stick a wiki-page/discussion thread somewhere to add icon requests? There have definitely been times when I wanted something not in the original set - I don't remember now, though, what they were.
25 Renaud Bompuis Feb 25th, 2009 at 23:02

Thanks a lot, these are excellent companions to the original set.

Gracias por los iconos, están de miedo.....MUCHAS GRACIAS
27 lol Mar 27th, 2009 at 20:03

a really nice set. good thing you didnt put them in the "public domain!" hahahaha
28 Damien Guard Mar 28th, 2009 at 00:03

The originals are under creative commons and most of these are derived from that so I can't make them a more liberal licence than the original.

Great work on this extension to Silk. We've been working on one ourselves for the geospatial software domain: http://projects.opengeo.org/geosilk/

Mark James has since allowed the set to licensed under CC-BY 3.0 (see: http://www.famfamfam.com/lab/icons/silk/) which is more compatible with free software licenses. Do you plan to similarly license yours as CC-BY 3.0?

Thanks!

I really like the bug icon in Silk. But there are no companion icons for it. Here are some ideas for new icons (In the context of bug tracking):
1. Feature (opposite of a bug?)
2. Change request
3. Won't fix
4. Not a bug
31 Echilon Jun 8th, 2009 at 11:06

Great icons, it's a shame FamFamFam hasn't released more.
32 Sjaak Jun 12th, 2009 at 13:06

I miss a filter icon/filter icons: http://turbomilk.com/img/10mis-filter.png
There is a lot in this set, but an icon for filtering is lacking.
