Thanks for the post, very helpful! I think the most important thing to keep in mind when using icons is that the icons are in one style. I sometimes see websites that use sets that differ too much when it comes to the looks of the icons.

We’ve designed our own set as well by the way. It’s called Iconshelf ( http://www.iconshelf.nl ) . This is what the icons look like → http://www.iconshelf.nl/wp-content/themes/iconshelf/img/iconshelf-preview.png
