While at the first glance, this set may seem trivial, the amount of "invisible" work and total time I devoted to this set is something I'll remember for a long time, that's for sure :) You may think – phew, they are just simple arrows, right?

Except for a few short trips, I don't plan any traditional vacation this year, so my hope is, that I'll have more time to work on new updates and brand new sets as well. The following two updates are not particularly huge, but since they are bringing some long-awaited icons (especially in <a href="/sets/halflings/" title="A little brother of the Basic set, made for all smaller graphic.">Halflings set</a>), you could say they are important updates. Let's get to them.</p> <p><a href="/blog/filetypes-set-update-2-1-and-halflings-set-update-2-3/" class="a-ico btn-more"><i>Keep reading</i></a></p> </article><hr> <article class="blog-post-item"> <a href="/blog/new-icon-sets-collections/" title="New icon sets collections"> <div class="blog-img-cover"><img src="/img/blog/new-icon-sets-collections/new-icon-sets-collections.png" alt="New icon sets collections"></div> <h1>New icon sets collections</h1></a> <div class="blog-info"><p> June 21, 2021<span class="blog-info-hr"></span>By <a href="/blog/authors/jan-kovarik">Jan Kovařík</a><span class="blog-info-hr"></span><a href="/blog/announcements/">Announcements</a> </p></div> <p>I've never been good at marketing. My first thought was always: a quality product must suffice on its own to be successful. You could say that I was against doing any marketing in a traditional sense at all. Luckily, a good friend of mine has extensive experience in this field and offered me help. It turned out I was wrong. Marketing isn't bad in general, I only used to see its very rough and sometimes even manipulative methods. But it can be actually useful to both parts, sellers, and customers as well, and truly helps to resolve various problems.</p> <p><a href="/blog/new-icon-sets-collections/" class="a-ico btn-more"><i>Keep reading</i></a></p> </article><hr> <article class="blog-post-item"> <a href="/blog/basic-set-update-2-4-and-halflings-set-update-2-2/" title="Basic set update 2.4 and Halflings set update 2.2"> <div class="blog-img-cover"><img src="/img/blog/basic-set-update-2-4-and-halflings-set-update-2-2/basic-set-update-2-4-and-halflings-set-update-2-2.jpg" alt="Basic set update 2.4 and Halflings set update 2.2"></div> <h1>Basic set update 2.4 and Halflings set update 2.2</h1></a> <div class="blog-info"><p> February 01, 2021<span class="blog-info-hr"></span>By <a href="/blog/authors/jan-kovarik">Jan Kovařík</a><span class="blog-info-hr"></span><a href="/blog/updates/">Updates</a> </p></div> <p>These updates are both (Basic set and Halflings set as well) rather "technical", as most of the new icons were made upon on requests I received during the last year.

So, in the dry language of numbers, with 30 new icons it's 1060+ icons for <a href="/sets/basic/" title="It's a mixture of essential icons and symbols for everyday design work.">Basic set</a> and 30 new icons in <a href="/sets/halflings/" title="A little brother of the Basic set, made for all smaller graphic.">Halflings set</a> make a nice equal number of 300+ icons.</p> <p><a href="/blog/basic-set-update-2-4-and-halflings-set-update-2-2/" class="a-ico btn-more"><i>Keep reading</i></a></p> </article> <div class="pagination"> <div class="pagination-next"><p><a href="/blog/2/" class="a-ico btn-more"><i>Older posts</i></a></p></div> </div> </div></div> </div></section> <footer><div class="in"> <div class="footer-action"> <div class="footer-desc"> <h1><a href="/">GLYPHICONS</a></h1> <p>GLYPHICONS<sup>®</sup> are precisely prepared monochromatic icons and symbols, created with an emphasis to simplicity and easy orientation.</p> </div> <div class="footer-nav"> <div class="footer-nav-item footer-nav-item-blog-half"> <h2 class="h2-gray">Categories</h2> <ul> <li><a href="/blog/updates/">Updates</a></li> <li><a href="/blog/how-to/">How to</a></li> <li><a href="/blog/thoughts/">Thoughts</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="footer-nav-item footer-nav-item-blog-half"> <h2 class="h2-gray">Blog</h2> <ul> <li><a href="/blog/" title="Show all latest posts">Latest posts</a></li> <li><a href="/blog/about/" title="About this blog">About</a></li> <li><a href="/blog/authors/" title="Authors writing on this blog">Authors</a></li> <li><a href="/feed.xml" title="Click and you'll be subscribed to all new posts on this blog">RSS</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="footer-nav-item footer-nav-item-blog-full"> <h2 class="h2-gray">Contact</h2> <p> If you want to get in touch or become an author, you may contact me at: <a href="mailto:glyphicons@gmail.com" title="Send me an email" style="display:inline">glyphicons@gmail.com</a> </p> </div> </div> </div> <p>© 2010 - 2024 GLYPHICONS<sup>®</sup> All rights reserved.</p> <p>GLYPHICONS Blog is maintained and curated by freelance graphic designer Jan Kovařík.
