Today I'd like to share an amazing resource that I've found so helpful in creating and making - The NOUN Project!
This site is filled with icons that can be used as part of your maker projects (with attribution) . or for a small fee they can be used without Attribution.
See pricing information here: https://thenounproject.com/accounts/pricing/
The site was primarily built for designers who wanted to search for or share icons to create a richer visual language by which to communicate.
According to Wikipedia, the Noun Project started in 2010 with symbols that were in the public domain and with symbols from the National Park Series. Since then it has grown through the contributions from around the world.
Contributors can select to contribute their icons as public domain or through a Creative Commons attribution license, which means that anyone can use it free of charge as long as they provide credit. You can also use the icon without attribution by paying a small fee. The artist and the Noun Project split the fee.
I've used the site to create physical objects such as vinyl decals and laser cut projects
These ornaments were designed using a variety of icons.
I've also used The Noun Project to create sprites and other assets for Scratch game, presentations, and other digital projects. I was able to quickly find just the right icons for a Scratch Project that was going to be part of our upcoming Earth Day Maker Project.
