Icons for documentation and illustrations
Hi all,
I am working on some documentation. Therefore I create some illustrations in SVG format.
I think SVGs are much better for resolution scale and with inkscape exists an open source tool to create them. The output still can be an image.
Now my question. In my illustrations I prefer to use predesigned icons.
Therefore I use freepik [1] or flaticon [2] if free available. If I use them I have to cite the source.
How do you create illustrations e.g. for pipeline elements?
Is there another source for Apache projects?
On the other hand I am thinking about to get a premium access.
Greetings
Florian

Hi Dominik,
I want to create user documentation like here [1] or here [2] or maybe you remember the visualization I did on my master thesis.
So far, if you use freepic, you have to mention the author. If you get a premium account this is mention:
Once you obtain any subscription plan, you will have access to download a PDF license document every time you download an icon or pack/collection. These licenses will allow you to use Flaticon resources without crediting the author and will remain active even when your premium membership expires.
So far I don't see any other license requirements. Does that count for apache license requirements?
I will have a look at google fonts but there are more icons available here.
Greetings
Florian

Hi,
I found a really good source [1] for SVG's and the license is always clear for each single file [2].
Much quicker so search as Google Font.

Hi Florian,
sounds cool!
I'd like to avoid using images with proprietary licenses in the documentation so that the documentation itself remains Apache licensed. You can have a look at Google Font Icons, which include a large set of icons and are Apache licensed (although not as extensive as other sources). Several creative commons licenses are also fine (see [1], unmodified media section).
Many icons we use for pipeline elements are currently self-made. What kind of illustrations do you need?
Cheers
Dominik
