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!
Nice work!
Totally rad dude. Smoothly silkified
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
EXCELENT WORK MEN ;)
great icons!
Thanks for these icons!
thanks !!
??,???.
Nice Work!
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.
I already know and use the FamFamFam-Icons, and yours are a great addition, thanks a lot!
lol~very good,great icons,thx:))))
very very nice work excellent icons men
Fantastic work, I've found what I was missing in "Silk icons" :)
Great work!
Really great work! I'm still waiting for "Silk Companion 2". ;-)
This is awesome, are there any more in the works??
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.

Thanks for a additional icons.
Food and Health icons would be nice. Things like plate, fork, fruits, protein, carbs, scale etc.
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.
Thanks a lot, these are excellent companions to the original set.
Gracias por los iconos, están de miedo.....MUCHAS GRACIAS
a really nice set. good thing you didnt put them in the "public domain!" hahahaha
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
Great icons, it's a shame FamFamFam hasn't released more.
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.
