This is a complete revision of a previous article (Top 25 Free Icon Resources for Web Designers) I wrote a while back.
Some links have died, so they have been removed, others have been added (recommended by a few comments and a lot of emails).

Fam Fam Fam and Brand Spanking New are still number 1 & 2, the rest have changed with 15 new entries.

If anyone knows of any excellent Web Design Icons leave a comment with the link, and let everyone know about. (Or an email is fine).

    I just created an IconKit and figured you’d be interested in it.
    There aren’t many right now, but I plan on adding more - hopefully in the next few weeks.
