Licensing

All icons are open source. Use them for free in every way you want, privately or commercially.

Authors

We Love SVG is developed by Icons8. Being a proprietary icon collection, Icons8 contributed parts of its collection.

However, the major credits should be given to the community of icon designers. They contributed months of their lives to draw thousands of icons and make the internet better.

SVG vs Icon Fonts

There has been a debate among designers on which one is better. But basically it should come to this – whether you need to support IE6-8 or not? If you do, an icon font is a winner here. But other than that, SVG is better at almost everything else.

We have compiled a comparison table for you to see the whole picture

Chris Coyier, the founder of CSS-Tricks, goes into further details comparing icon fonts vs SVG.

If you decided (while reading this article) to make a switch from icon fonts to SVG, We Love SVG could be just that small helper to make this transition a bit less painful.
