Symbolicons by Sensible World

[markwyner]

Designer Jory Raphael has published a very robust set of vector icons called Symbolicons which have been optimized for both mobile and web apps. The icons are impressive and there are 440 of them, which should cover a number of needs.

While the icons are nice, their dedicated website is what really caught my attention. Most notably the giant robot that Jory calls “Roboticon.” Both because it’s a great illustration and also because it’s animated—with CSS. Yay for CSS3 transform!

I guess he used Sencha Animator to pull it together, which is pretty cool. I purchased Animator a few weeks back to see how it could help me animate my new creatures in the forthcoming update to my Creature Mixup app. Jory’s animated Roboticon affords me some encouragement that this will work out quite nicely.
