The Ultimate Free RSS Icon List

Posted by on 6th Nov 2008 Design & Coding 49 comments

RSS syndication is one of the most common methods to read a blog therefore it is vital that your feed link can be easily found on your site. One of the best ways to do this add an RSS icon to your blogs header, sidebar or footer. The position underneath your blog posts is popular too.

You can design your own RSS feed icon if you wish but thankfully, there are hundreds of beautiful RSS icons around the net which are free to download.

Here is a large list of sites which offer Free RSS Icons*. I’m sure you will find something suitable for your blog within this list.

I have added a preview of each icon (or icon set) though I encourage you to visit the original site to download the feed icon. Not only will you be able to download the original files, which will be of a higher quality, but you will also be downloading the image from the authors website. Enjoy :)

* In no particular order

The following icons were designed from members of Deviant Art.

Hope you enjoyed the list :)

    Nice collection but I know some of these (from devainart) come in PSD orvector formats. :( Was recently looking for icons myself.

    My favorite is 345-set I am using all of it at my blog. :)

    That's an amazing set of icons you have collected here. Very thanks for making all beautiful feed icons available at a single place with all required links.

    Theme developers and web designers will most need these. Thanks for that – Stumbled :)

    Awesome collection indeed! It really lives up the name "ultimate". A couple of them I've never came across so far. The grunge just looks perfect for my blog…;)

    Whoa! An awesome list :razz: Nice one Kevin
  • Posted by Angel Cuala on 6th Nov 2008

    This is one of the greatest lists I ever saw, Kevin. I already have the one sitting on a bench, but bookmarked this one in case I want to replace it.

    Thanks for sharing.
  • Posted by Kevin Muldoon on 6th Nov 2008

    Glad you all like the list. I came across a lot of other great designs but I don't believe the author released them so I couldn't include them. Nevertheless, there are a lot of icons for you to use or modify.
  • Posted by Charfish Charlie on 6th Nov 2008

    Wow…that is quite a list! Thanks for including me in there, Kevin, and thanks for the inspiration!

    This is an extremely huge list of RSS icons :D However, not everyone could use it since not everyone knows how to make it make the background for some blogs :P
