Building Blocks
When I designed and built my site, I made the block-ey icons you see peppered around IamGarth.com. Rather than horde them all to myself, I thought I’d make them available for download—you know—share the wealth. So, if you’ve got a use for ‘em, you can grab them here: Download the Blocks.
The file includes the icons you see here: RSS, LinkedIn, Plaxo, Twitter, Adobe PDF (yet to incorporate into my site). There is also a “blank” that you can colorize and add your own icon(s) to. The icons in the file are much larger than you see here (roughly 230 x 230px)—which makes ‘em easier to work with and allows different size icons to be generated.
It would be really cool if we could turn this into a community project—continuing to build out the set. Email me any improvements and/or additions (new icons) you make, I’ll update the file and we’ll continue to share and grow the set. Who’s with me?

you are great man! it’s so frustrating that wherever i look, there is always one icon that is missing. I want to have all of my icons consistent. I found everything in one batch but plaxo. now you have a beautiful set with plaxo but i am missing, myspace, youtube, picasaweb…
i would love to help out but u wouldnt want that. i will still try just in case but if you have a template that makes things easy and “consistent” it might be my only option to ask them from you.
you created them for own use which makes sense, but these icon sites that creates tons of icons including sites that not as popular, dont include some major ones which i dont understand.
thanks!
