Ask HN: Where to go to find free images/icons to use on my project?

What are you looking for? Just icons for actions? Check out http://webdesignledger.com/freebies/the-best-icon-sets-for-m.... I just pulled it off delicious, used some icons from it 10 minutes ago. If you're looking for images, try http://sxc.hu. Something else? What type of thing are you looking for?

A lot of people (including myself) are under the delusion that you need detailed, descriptive icons. Most of the time your design will benefit from a simple representative glyph.

That being said, the "Fugue" icon set would have to be the greatest icon set I have ever crossed paths with. With 2000+ beautifully designed, crisp icons, most of your needs will be met. The license is attribution or you can simply pay $49.95 for royalty free.

I always use Fam fam's icons. They're well designed and there are a lot of them. Best of all they're completely free :-)
