This fantastic icons set, created exclusively for WebdesignerDepot by PixelKit, is a brilliant twist on the repetitive ‘flat’ icons that are everywhere right now. Using the bright but desaturated colors, favored in flat design; the icons are attractive, cheerful and friendly.
In a fun twist the long shadow technique has been applied to actually increase the icons’ 3D quality, rather than the usual approach of flattening it. The soft gradients, deep shadows and playful color scheme put us in mind of a FisherPrice toy, and these icons would definitely work well on a kids’ site.
Particular favorites are the old fashioned record player and the even more old fashioned radio. Slightly more commonly required icons include the settings icon, represented by two cogs; and the comment icon, represented by a speech bubble with a ‘plus’ sign.
You can download these fun icons below the preview.

Have you used these icons in a project? What do you



WordPress, one of the most popular blogging and website platforms in the world, accounts for thousands of new blogs and websites every day.
One of the best ways to get up and running quickly — especially if you don’t have much design or development experience — is to use a theme. And some of the very best themes out there are completely free!
Every month we’ll be bringing you our pick of the best free WordPress themes released in the previous month. Here are our favorites for November:

DevDmBootstrap3

Unlike many themes which are designed for beginners, this theme with the funny name was created for developers. DevDMBootstrap3 is for developers who are already familiar with Twitter Bootstrap and is a mobile-first theme. The sleek interface makes it easy to develop for the web even quicker.
