Hi everybody,
I was working on the development of a web application and needed a few icons. I
was going to grab some on the Web, but reluctant to navigate in grey zone about
copyright I decided to make them myself. As I'm absolutely incapable of drawing
them, I turned toward my only hope, POV. Honestly I was sure to give up quickly,
realizing I would reach nothing but crappiness before the end of my available
amount of time. To my pleasure I was wrong and got my full set of icons in less
than one day, with a quality far beyond expectations. Thus I post them here,
nothing grandiose but as an encouragement to others who would think it's too
complicated/too time consuming. The point here is to use wisely the low
resolution (here it's 75x75px) to reach something visually satisfying with the
shortest and simplest code. A kind of code golf challenge for the peace of
mind... ;-)

Cool! I too think POV-Ray very useful for such tasks.

Fine looking icons!
I've use POV to make icons too. I also use POV to make background images for web
pages, Game sprites, and brushes (walls & floors) for Quake2 game maps. POV has
many fine uses!
Have fun!

A few years back, someone was searching for a rotating ankh to be used
with DesktopX. I made a set in a variety of metals and stones, 18 frames
fully antialiased using the alpha channel, that was ready the next day.
My tool : POV-Ray.

Thanks to all for your comments.
Indeed, I've also made a WIP icon. The animated GIF was created with Gimp.

Although these are nice, it would seem the current trend is Material Design.
Maybe skeuomorph will come back again.

Thank you for the two references. Even if I'm not really the kind of person who
follows the trend I'll read about them carefully.
