The trend towards flat design is growing in momentum. Since Google switched to a flatter appearance across their network of web apps, other site owners have quickly been following suit.
As screen resolutions continue going up to higher definition on new devices (most modern laptops have a 720p LCD display and a few now sport 1080p or greater resolution displays), there is far less need for shading and other previously common design elements in order to help icons stand out from the background at low resolutions.
Flat Icon Sets
Many design houses and design-based web sites have started offering flat icon sets that can be used for desktop and mobile applications.
Usually images are provided in vector-based PSD files. These can have a retina ready display quality that can stretch or shrink in size with no loss of quality. This makes them perfect for higher resolution devices like the iPad 3 & 4, and smartphones with smaller displays too.
Alternative approaches for flat icon packs is offer icon collections with various icon sizes like 48 x 48 pixels up to 512 x 512 pixels. The intention behind this approach is to reduce the file size marginally for smaller-sized icons selected for inclusion in applications or on web sites, which reduces downloading time for users.
Below are the best flat design icon packs which really impressed us with their creativity.
