Free (As In Beer) E-Mail Subscription Icons

Although e-mail subscriptions are related to RSS feeds, I didn’t like using the standard RSS icon next to my “Get Updates by E-Mail” link. I had trouble finding an icon that matched the standard RSS icon being offered for free, so I created the icon to the left for my own use.

Recently, I noticed that one of my favorite “how to make money” bloggers (Maki from doshdosh.com), was using the standard RSS icon next to his “Get Updates By E-mail” link. Because I take a lot of free information from DoshDosh, I thought I’d offer him the email icon as a small token of my appreciation. He graciously accepted it, and you can see it in action by visiting his site.

If any of you have been looking for a similar icon, I packed eight different sizes of the icon pictured above into a .zip file for you to download and use on your website for free, no strings attached.

Download the free email subscription icon pack here.

      I think that icon looks great. Did you make it straight from scratch or did you use an RSS icon as the base?

      If you did make it from scratch - you really oughta look into doing some freelance type graphic design type stuff. That way you’re not strapped down to a job.

      I used the RSS icon as a base, but you can make things like this pretty easily with a free vector graphics program called Inkscape.

      I´m using your icon now. Like you, I was looking for something different that still kept the same feel of the RSS standard and since I´m on an extended stay out of the country I don´t have access to my Adobe CS2. Good thing I found your icon which saved the day.

      You are a real star, Jon. I did a quick Google search for “icon email”. Your site came up on the first or second page and was EXACTLY what I was looking for!!

      hi, thanks a mill for these icons. was desperately trying to find some way of giving users the option of subscribing via RSS or Email without having to waste space duplicating words. unfortunately standard email icons just don’t convey the message. double kudos on putting it out there for free. interesting that you don’t use it on your site, but you can see it in use on our blog at http://www.urbansurvivalproject.org

      thanks again
