12 Useful SVG Icon Sets

SVG is a file format that enables two-dimensional images to be displayed in XML on the Web. The PNG’s and GIF’s that we have been used to using day in and day out are getting ever more old and dated. Using PNG’s for icons and catering for every resolution you have include PNGs for multiple resolutions. Whereas SVG, you can create the file once and use it anywhere, at any scale and any resolution.
