The New Skype Emoticons, illustrated by Jon Hicks and animated by Julian Frost are pretty awesome.

Some free, vector social Glyphs from GSIX Corp.

Pictogram Movie Posters, by Viktor Hertz use generic pictograms to represent a core scene, concept, or the title from popular movies. They’re also now available as prints.

Glyphicons are a new set of 270 simple icons, great for use on web or mobile. The license is a tad restrictive (you must always include a link to the site), but the symbols definitely have a sweet style to them and look like they render well at small sizes. It’s $25 for the whole set (including 2x iOS icons) and $49 with the source vector files.

Drew Wilson has released Pictos 2, an awesome follow up to his excellent set of vector icons.

Pictos is a fantastic new vector icon set from the talented Drew Wilson, with 324 useful symbols. The set makes a great addition to any UI designer’s arsenal and is a steal for $29 — go get your set today.

Also, for those who don’t know, Drew was instrumental in helping me re-align WebKitBits, putting together the excellent new abstract background.

Michael Flarup has released Vital Vector 2, an excellent collection of commercial-use, vector-based, icons. As with the first set, this collection contains 255 gorgeously simple icons for an incredibly low $29. Instant purchase.
