Newton himself often told the story that he was inspired to formulate his theory of gravitation by watching the fall of an apple from a tree.
Cartoons have gone further to suggest the apple actually hit Newton’s head.

GRAVITY……… and there goes the apple

You’re busy coding finishing your web app, you need to put a santa icon or coffecup icon , though google might help save you’re search time.
Youre hoping there is website out there with enough icon archive ready for download and use.

www.iconarchive.com is the answer

From their website:
The Icon Archive is a categorized collection of high quality desktop & web icon sets. We currently host over
27,300 icons in 971 sets from 226 icon authors. Icons can be used for Windows (XP, Vista, etc.), Macintosh (OSX, OS) and Linux (as PNG Files). Copyright of icons belong to original authors. Public usage license can be found on each icon set page.


What impressed me with the site
– quick find on icons.
– rare icons like (ex. giraffe or toaster). is available
– They have apps icons, icons we see usually on apps (save,add,delete update,trash bin).
– quick download, right click save, you’re done, copyright applies read copyright first.
– FILE FORMAT is only at png some have .ico but most of the time I will need a transparent png for my web app buttons or tool bars
