Why use the same, boring orange RSS icon? Call attention to your feed and add an ounce of flavor to your site with a refreshing button or icon.
Your RSS feed will never be ignored again. 🙂
Notes:
Please “Save As” to your own PC and upload to your Web server. That way if I ever move or delete these icons, they won’t appear as broken images on your site.
The icons marked “Transparent GIF” will blend in with any background color.
Enjoy and please Stumble this post if you find my graphics useful. Thanks. 😉

Helo Lisa I enjoyed all of them but can you please tell me “How to use them for your RSS feeds”
And please guide me that how can I increase my followers?
With some of those buttons i would think that some non-techie visitors will not think it is an rss feed.
Thnks Lisa! Thnks for post… 🙂

Great work (as usual). I once put an icon on my site but couldn’t get it to work. Had to remove it.

i think the best way to use this icons is to link them to your feedburner link 😉

Great post and great website!
I run two blogs with forums and am currently planning the third and fourth.
I just used one of your radio buttons on my parenting site (www.bigproblemswithlittlechildren.ca), it looks fantastic, and I will be refering back to this post to make my own radio buttons in the future.
Great job!

Thanks for the icons 🙂

Regars,

Thanks alpha,
This was my first attempt and after I learned how to do this in photoshop, I sort of when crazy with it. I actually plan to do some better quality ones if I ever get some time. 🙂
Lisa, you are taking all of the great ideas. Slow down a bit. LOL
I started making these for my new “Everythings Free” web site. But after seeing your collection, I think I’ll scratch that idea. You did a lot better than I did.
I know of some really good big ones, just search “smashing feed icons” and you might get something.
Great icons. We listed them among 10 best places to find free RSS icons online on our site.
Mike,
Adding RSS to a website is a little different than a blog because you have to create the XML yourself. When I created an RSS feed for my site I used http://www.feedforall.com and they allow you to create and publish your feed to the net. You put it in your root directory and them advertise it like yourdomain.com/rss.xml
I am having the most difficult time figuring out how to get the best RSS built on my website. I add new videos all the time on different pages and new pages come up all the time.
Do I need to add a specific code on every page? Or do I just need to get the rss.xml in my root directory? I’m confused.
Nimish, simply right-click and “save as” to download them to your PC and then upload the images to your web sever. Now you would just add the images like you would any other image on your site.
How can I use them in my webpage
http://lcdinterfacing.googlepages.com
I followed the link to the Mozilla guidelines. According to what’s documented there a few of these icons would probably not be appropriate. However you can use different color RSS icons to match the colors of your site if you so choose. They just said to make use of such icon “minimal”. Haha.
Anyways I LIKE your icons! I just moved to my new site and I was looking around for a red RSS button. The orange is awful and clashes.
Awesome work.
Alan, I never knew the “ASS” story about RSS. Kinda funny (Even though you don’t like my icons.) 😉
Also, not sure if you knew this, but the back story on the feed icons is that there used to be an icon that just said “RSS” but a user wrote in to Mozilla, complaining their browser was saying “ASS”. Solution: Use a symbol. Thus the feed icon was born.
Uh, Eren, there are good reasons to never, ever use any icon from this page.
If you want a big icon, use a big one from the Developer Kit here:
http://feedicons.com/
For more information on why you should only use the standard icons, see the official release from Mozilla (yes, the people who make Firefox):
http://www.mozilla.org/foundation/feed-icon-guidelines/
okay thanks I’ll try doing that.
all the best,
Eren
Eren, thank you. Just right-click and save as to your PC. Then upload them to your Web server. You would just use a basic img HTML tag to add them like you would any other image. You won’t be able to upload them to feedburner, but you can manually add it to your blog and put a link to your RSS feed along side it.
Hi Lisa- great job with the icons. Really pretty.
I just stumbled and and used delicious to bookmark this post.
Bet it took you a while to make.
Now I just need to figure out how to use them instead of the standard icon- is there a tutorial around that teaches that?
All the best,
Eren
Nice work, but to answer your question, “Why use the same, boring orange RSS icon?”
Well, they’re standard.
Using the same icons helps visitors to not only your site, but others:
1) Find your feed link if they’re looking for it
2) Recognize many sites have RSS feeds (if everyone used different icons, some visitors might not put the pieces together)
And might I suggest the orange buttons are not really that easy to “ignore”? They’re orange!

nice collection, Lisa… but I am looking for a bigger one! Got any?
Just kidding, of course! 🙂
