FamFamFam Silk as SVG

The iconic iconset of the 2010’s era from Mark James, remade in SVG for today’s needs.

This project contains ~1000 icons in SVG. SVG is lightweight, scalable compared to PNG — and open format, allowing anyone to edit it to his/her needs. I aim to have all the original icons remastered, but also create more up-to-date versions (Smartphones was not a thing back in 2008). Plus, most icons can be mixed with decorators (bullets) to get more meaning.
