I’ve been taking a look at the new Genericons so as to see if I want to use them in any new and upcoming projects and as a result I’ve spent some time also looking for alternatives.

Icons for the web and mobile devices as well as Retina display use cases have increased in popularity and I wanted to make sure I could stay up to date as possible. Man, do you remember when it was so much more simple? Sheesh!

Well, Natko Hasić dropped us a line last weekend and let us know that as a WordPress designer and developer he decided to just create his own, a high-DPI post format icons for retina and more.

And to be honest, they are really pretty.

They are absolutely free to use for your own personal projects so take a look today here and see what’s what:

Icons come in PNG format and are transparent so they’ll blend in perfectly with any background. Use them anywhere and anyway you want, personal or commercial projects. Link back is appreciated but not required.

So go ahead and try them on for size. Give him a link back if you do so he can get some much-deserved cred.
