Metro icons that can cut glass

[bermlee]

Here's my contribution of essential Application Bar icons for Windows 8 and Windows Phone apps. I invite you to take a look at: metro.useicons.com - Essential AppBar Icons for Windows Apps

Each icon is crafted with a specific function in mind, fitted to the pixel-grid for a crisp clean look. The set includes 2 custom matching sets (not simple inverses) so that apps can look their best in both dark and light backgrounds, more than 600 icons in total for $30.

I've put these out a month ago, but still have little visibility web searches, and would really like to get these in front of developers.

Here's what you won't find elsewhere:

• customized "dark" and "light" background versions
• crisp, pixel-hinted icons without the fuzziness prevalent in other icon sets (these are not warmed over last-gen Android icons)
• carefully chosen based on functions you need for your app (no inflated icon count by adding in clip-art, or random dingbats--you know where to find THOSE)

If you have any questions, drop me tweet at: @useicons

Enough excuses! Go build your app!

How in any way does this compete with Metro Studio, which is available for free?:dry

Short answer: It doesn't!

Longer answer: my customers know the difference.

Would you like a free set? Send me a private message.

They know the difference as in these here are better than Metro Studio?

They look good, but as a developer I wouldn't pay of $30 for them, considering there are so many icons out there for free.

Are there also XAML vector versions of the icons? I think its better to use this instead of jpgs and pngs in Windows8 and WP8 apps as there are different scaled resolutions.
