Thanks to a tip posted on Forevergeek.com, I came across a site that offers free commercial quality icon sets. IconBuffet.com sells a wide variety of icon sets for app and web work. What they also offer are free sets. You register with them and once a month they send you a free set of icons. To raise it up a notch, they will send different people different sets each month. You are allowed to send each set up to 5 times to other people through IconBuffet’s web site. They call it “Free Delivery”.
I just signed up and I have the “Oslo Finance” set. There are about 10 or 11 different images, in a wide variety of formats: BMP, GIF, Mac ICNS, Win ICO, TIFF, and PNG.
If anyone with an IconBuffet account wants this one, just leave a comment here or email me at anotherlab{at}gmail{dot}com. I’m looking for the other sets, with my eye on the Shanghai Tech and Shanghai Tech Vector sets.

I just got my first deliveries (thanks Dan!). It’s the Shanghai Tech Vector and Shanghai Tech sets. Duncan sent me all 5, I now have a complete set. I’m not sure what I’m going to do with them, but they are cool.

- Oslo Atmosphere, 3 deliveries remaining
