I don't like the website, the way that all the icons are listed without any sort of indication to how far I'm scrolling through the set. Also, icons are sorted by tags but to find tags I must either search and hope there is a tag or find a tag via specific icons pages, why is there no directory? Feels like the focus was look pretty over efficiently store a large collection of icons. Nice icons though.

#!/bin/bash

for i in {1..1100}

   wget -q "http://thenounproject.com/site_media/zipped/svg_$i.zip

done

need a trailing "

edit: this is also useful

#!/bin/bash

for i in {1..1036}

unzip svg_$i.zip;rm svg_$i.zip

done

Using the categories [0] is the best way to navigate the icons on the site for me. But yeah, I agree that searching is problematic.

Where did you find that?

I found it when searching for something that wasn't in the list.

Agree, and unusable on a mobile unfortunately. It says my browser is not up-to-date - more like someone's web dev skills are not up-to-date. It's a very good project but just feels like it's trying to be too clever.

I find the layout irritating as well. While The Noun Project is good for common nouns, if you're looking for something slightly out of the norm, you'll have to scroll through endless pages to find something that will fit.

Other than this, it's an excellent resource for any iOS project (or anything else, for that matter.)

Most of the icons are indexed here as well:

http://www.iconfinder.com/search/?q=iconset%3Anounproject http://www.iconfinder.com/search/?q=iconset%3Anounproject_co... http://www.iconfinder.com/search/?q=iconset%3Anounproject_np...

They are grouped by the different authors which makes it easier to find out what license applies. You can search in the different groups by adding a keyword e.g. http://www.iconfinder.com/search/?q=iconset%3Anounproject+pl...
