The Social Bird icon set – The First Inspired Release

Well, we kinda felt the time has come for the first Inspired Release. In the same time, we saw many of our readers blogâ€™s are using too generic icons for their Twitter widgets, so we came up with a brilliant idea – why not ask our favorite artists to draw a bird icon in their own style for you guys to have something fresh on your blog? We had a great response from BIG names in the illustration field and Bam! here it is: The Social Bird icon set – a free release by Inspired Magazine. Before anything else, you must follow these guys on Twitter: Frank Chimero, Jeffrey Bowman, Mills, Dyna Moe, Alex Mathers, Divya Manian, Matt Joyce, Noper, Ursu, James White, Lapin, David â€œNetherlandâ€ van Alphen, Jessica Gonacha,Â Alex Eben Meyer, Jerrod Landon Porter, Will Bryant & Chris Maier. Theeeen you could download the icon pack from the bottom of the post and pop-up some first class illustration to your blog.
