Flat Social Media Icons is a collection of beautiful icons developed in the flat style.

Retro Social Icons

This set is made out of retro icons, both on a round background and on a starred round one. The icons include Facebook, Drupal, deviantART, Instagram, Blogspot, WordPress and Skype between others and looks like a great set to have in case you are in need of such icons.

This set also comes with the original PSD file included and is comprised of 28 icons in total, all in PNG and JPG, with a size of 64×64 pixels. Also, this one is free to use as well, however there are some restrictions about how the set is used – make sure you read it before you make use of any of these icons for your commercial projects.

This set is made of 20 social media icons in a 3D format. You will find in this set the most popular social media icons, both old and new. All icons have a clean, sleek look and the package can be used without rights attribution.

3D Statuette Set

This one also comes in 3D format, but what I like about it is the huge size it comes in. All the icons are 435 x 424 pixels, which is quite a lot compared to how big the standard size is. No backlinks are required for this one either, so it can be used freely both for personal and commercial purposes, and you will also find some of the popular social media in between the icons zipped here.

This set is also quite unique, made out of burnt wood icons. The set contains 12 different icons of 420 x 420 px, coming in transparent PNG format. Besides the fact that you will find most of the popular social media icons in this set, it is also free to use for everybody, so give it a shot if you want a rustic experience for your website.

Dark Denim Icons

This set is made out of high-resolution icons. I like the fact that even if it comes in PNG, it comes in a huge resolution (600 x 600 px) and therefore can be sized down after needs. There are more than a hundred icons in the set, so you will probably be able to find the one you need as well.

Elegant Themes

The guys from Elegant Themes have always been some of my favourite WordPress theme designers and I have bought from theme many times before. Their work is high quality. And this icon pack seems to be high quality as well. It includes 42 icons both in PNG and in PSD, so you can also customize the icons easily. The good part about this pack is that the icons will easily fit in with their sleek, modern themes.

There is a total of 15 icons in this pack and it can be used by anyone both for personal and commercial projects. Google, Flickr, LinkedIn YouTube and Facebook icons are included among some other big social media examples.

Matte White Square icons

I have chosen this one because it is made of a big number of icons and the style of these icons is minimalistic and fits pretty much everywhere. Its neutral color is also an advantage, because unlike many other examples, it doesn’t only fit with a specific kind of color palette. The set is free and can be used as you want to.

Old Bottle Crowns

This set is not as big as the last one and it only contains 20 icons, but if you own a restaurant or a bar and you have a website, this social media icon pack is definitely the right one for you. I think these icons can also be used for other purposes, but this should entirely be up to you.

Page peel icon set

This is a rebound of another page peel icon set, but this one seems to be better than the first edition. The set is released in transparent PNGs and the icons are available in two dimensions, 128 x 128 and 64 x 64 pixels. The set is also free to use.

Let’s say I kept the best for the last. If you thought some of the ones above are impressive, then wait to hear how many icons this set has. Regardless of what social media profile you have, there is definitely an icon for it here. The set comes with 1540 icons and this is a huge amount of work. This one is simply one of my favorites.
