Smashing Magazine has released a free RSS feed icon set, which was designed by Dirceu Veiga from FastIcon.
The set contains 8 icons that can be used for private and commercial projects for free. According to the license agreement, the designer asks for an operable link to http://www.fasticon.com, with the link text: “Icons by: FastIcon.com”.
The Icons are available for both Mac and Windows. The PNG files can be downloaded as well, which come in various resolutions (16×16px, 24×24px, 32×32px, 48×48px, 128×128px, 256×256px and 512×512px).
Thank you, Dirceu, for designing such a fresh icon set and making it available to everyone for free. The download links can be found on either Smashing Magazine or FastIcon.
