Love this site http://thenounproject.com/ - an open collection of user generated icons and symbols that are downloadable, free, useful and generally rather good.

The Noun Project Mission
“sharing, celebrating and enhancing the world's visual language”

The Noun Project collects, organizes and adds to the highly recognizable symbols that form the world's visual language, so they may share them in a fun and meaningful way.

FREE
The symbols on the site are and always will remain free. They believe symbols can not be effectively shared with the world if they are not free.

SIMPLE
Everyone likes simplicity. They want you to be able to come to their site and effortlessly find and obtain what they're are looking for. Simple as that.

FUN
They think a language that can be understood by all cultures and people is a pretty amazing thing. They also think their symbols and the objects or ideas they represent are works of art worth celebrating.

HIGHEST QUALITY
They get excited about things like scale, proportion, and shape. They are committed to design and quality in everything they do.

"My work explores the idea of networks and systems through the synthesis of fundamental design elements, geometry and abstraction. I'm obsessed with technology, maps, data visualizations, information graphics, technical diagrams, infrastructure, architecture and complexity - all of which informs my work." Eric Frommelt

Genís Carrera is a London based graphic designer and the creator of Philographics, a series of 24 posters in which he visualises philosophic concepts using basic shapes and color. The aim is to turning a complexity into simplicity, rather graphically pretty too. http://www.awwwards.com/philographics-by-genis-carrera.html
