110+ Free RSS Icons to Show Off Your RSS Feed
Update: The first 60 feed icons can be found on this page. The next 50 are in part two, 50+ More Free RSS Feed Icons. Enjoy!
The standard RSS icon is too common. Everyone has seen it. Make your feed subscription more appealing by using one of the unique RSS icons below.
The first 43 icons are all free, and many come with a range of color variations. The last section is probably free, but you'll need to email the authors to be certain. Click an image to visit the source of the icon.
Circular Feed Icons
Glossy Web2.0 RSS Icons
Rectangular
Miscellaneous
The "Probably Free, But Ask The Owner"s
The following icons are the ones I found in various blog sidebars or Flickr, but couldn't find the original source of. They link to the page I found them on. If anyone knows any of the sources, please let me know so I can give them credit.
With all those icons to choose from, you have no excuse for not finding an icon to suit your blog's design. And a huge thanks to all the designers who gave us these icons for free!
Now that you've seen the first load, make sure you check out the rest in 50+ More Free RSS Feed Icons!
Bonus: Whatever you do, I wouldn't recommend using any of the alternative icons considered for Internet Explorer 7.

thanks.I need it.
2nd April, 3:16 pm GMT
Nice RSS collection
I like the more creative ones when people use the icon in actual things... like the hot air balloon...
2nd April, 3:57 pm GMT
Starfeeder,
I agree. Those 4 by Smashing were perfectly done. I'm not entirely sure I would put the hot air balloon in my sidebar, but the little newspaper man? Heck yeah!
2nd April, 5:54 pm GMT
Michael,
nice collection.
I think the biggest RSS button is at HLWT (havelaptopwilltravel.com/biggestRSS.html)
2nd April, 6:00 pm GMT
Franky,
Haha - I'd love to see that brute in a sidebar! Good find.
2nd April, 8:54 pm GMT
Hellow m8
This is really great
It saved some for my blog. Thx men

Wow this is an impressive list. Thank you so much..
The newspaper man is awesome. (At first glance I thought it was someone having a go)
3rd April, 2:04 am GMT
Most of the RSS Icons are cool on one hand, but way too big on the other. In this size they are eye-catchers, like Ads, penetrating the sense of seeing, like "hey, click me..CLICK ME!!!"
But I like 4 of them, and I think the others are resizable in photoshop or whatsoever..
3rd April, 9:00 am GMT
Circular ones always make me feel uneasy... I don't think I like circles as much as squares.
I love the ones that were on Smashing Magazine, and the tickets are cool. That little one with the shoes (not very clean around the edges) is from Vikiworks (see your own post reviewing the design!), but he's change to a little heeart RSS now.
I still like the standard ones too.
3rd April, 10:10 am GMT
Superb icons, now the problem I have is to choose which one to use.
Regards.
3rd April, 12:16 pm GMT
Ronald,
No problem. Glad you found it useful.
Black Zedd,
Haha - If you you really want, you could add the designer for a version like that?
Robby,
You can resize them all. I chose to use the biggest versions of most of them because resizing down is a lot better than resizing up (You lose a lot of the quality that way).
Kristarella,
The square is the more standard one, so I can see why it might seem better. But yep, I know the shoe one is from Vikiworks. Good idea though - The original icon might be in his theme download!
Jsanderz,
Haha, likewise! I think my standard icon needs an update.
3rd April, 12:28 pm GMT
Oh, haha, I didn't hover over it to see that it actually linked there! It probably is in the theme download.
3rd April, 2:12 pm GMT
Kristarella,
lol - Thanks for helping out any way.
3rd April, 2:35 pm GMT

Ralph
12th April, 3:26 pm GMT

12th April, 11:31 pm GMT

11th May, 2:45 am GMT
Can someone provide detailed instructions on how to get the 'RSS Subscribe' icon on my blog so people can click it and subscribe to my entries? I don't know how to do it, what code to get, where to paste it in to my template or anything - I am a newbie! Thanks!
11th May, 1:26 pm GMT
Yeeeha! Where has this page been all my life? Someone posted to these in the forum. I'm going to make some mods now. Thanks for compiling this extremely useful list. Consider it tweeted as well
18th May, 2:59 am GMT
Great icons. Really beautiful and professional. Love every one of them.
20th May, 7:29 pm GMT
I installed this in my images folder but still not seeing any icons-photoshop cannot open these. Any ideas? I've got wordpress...
24th May, 8:02 am GMT
Nice job.... please take a look on my website for glassy rss icons

24th May, 4:45 pm GMT
Thanks for the comments everyone!
Husky,
Thanks for sharing, but do you know where the original icon there came from? It's one of the ones I linked to above, but I don't know the original source for it.
Lawton,
You have to link to the file itself in your theme's design. Have a search on Google for something like "adding images to a webpage"
26th May, 11:47 am GMT
This is very cool icons ...thanks for this
26th May, 4:41 pm GMT
Welcome.
27th May, 4:46 am GMT
Great collection. Are we allowed to use some?
3rd June, 6:18 pm GMT
Great collection. Thanks
6th June, 1:35 am GMT
Hey, I wrote a post explaining what RSS is, that might help some of the people who are new to the idea.
You can check it out at http://www.thetechjuice.com/20.....s-rss.html
I actually use one of these in my blog, and I appreciate you putting them up here for people to take and use freely.
Cheers,

THanks for them
3rd August, 9:09 am GMT
A really nice collection!
9th August, 11:11 pm GMT
So how do you implement them any ideas? Does anyone have instructions
9th August, 11:12 pm GMT
Well these are very nice but how do you get them so when someone clicks on them it will go to a certain page ?
13th August, 1:30 pm GMT
These are really good, I had been making my own RSS icons but these look really professional.
15th August, 4:23 pm GMT
I really like these icons, I feel that vector badges look great on sites especially on RSS Feeds.
15th August, 6:46 pm GMT
Those are very nice, I think it's a good idea to have a RSS feed icon big enough to grab someone's attention. Thanks this was very helpful
15th August, 6:48 pm GMT
Do I have to get permission to use those before I paste them in my website blog?
16th August, 1:42 am GMT
Sorry guys (Or possibly the one guy...), but the over-optimized SEO keyword names were pushing it. Renamed yous to Commenter 1 etc. Please just use a real name next time. Commenting isn't a system to be gamed.
Commenter 5,
For the first 4 sections, no. They're all free to use. For the last section, you'll have to ask.
18th August, 6:27 pm GMT
Great selection, i especially like the coffee cup.
18th August, 9:53 pm GMT
They should have one like the paper one, but on the toilet. Really nice selection and strangely as a web designer i look for RSS logo constantly. I'll be back!!
19th August, 7:22 pm GMT
These are a really good selection of RSS feeds, Ive seen loads around the internet but these are some of the best ones.
7th September, 11:10 am GMT
Nice collection .. thanks
7th September, 2:46 pm GMT

Great collection for me ! Thanks for share
2nd October, 12:28 pm GMT
these are really cool! the billboard and hot air balloon are my favorites. These are some of the best rss icons I have seen on the web, nice one.
11th October, 3:04 pm GMT
Very helpful, since I've not previously considered using anything but the standard icon
21st October, 12:21 pm GMT
Some of the best collections I have seen recently.
Very helpful post.
22nd October, 7:14 am GMT
Wow, what a blog some days before i was searching for the icons and did not find in search engine here there are a lot of icons thanks for that. - siaar
24th October, 12:39 pm GMT
Great collection. Thanks. I need this!
30th October, 8:36 pm GMT
hey these are really neat, the tickets are my favorite.
1st November, 9:56 pm GMT
Great collection.
2nd November, 4:40 pm GMT
I just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to put together such a great list of RSS Icons. I'm sure that took a lot of time and I just wanted to say thanks. Keep up the great work, I just bookmarked your blog.
6th November, 1:47 am GMT
Wow, this is a great list of icons. This whole time I've been literally using a 14x14 pixel icon. Perhaps my readers can't find my RSS feed, or maybe my content sucks. Who knows?
10th November, 9:19 am GMT
Thank you very much indeed!
Hardly any one could find these various wonderful standard RSS icons in one place, but you have really done a great job collected all these from all the web and posted on your blog to help people out, we really must appreciate your kind help.
In fact i have just started designing a wordpress themes so these icons can easy my work.
11th November, 1:38 am GMT
Steve,
Sounds small! I find a decent sized, well designed RSS icon that grabs the eye can be just the push a person needs to grab your feed. A little encouragement never hurts them!
Adam,
Hope they come in handy!
14th November, 1:25 pm GMT
I've been looking for the glossy icon, thanks for putting together this list!
17th November, 11:55 am GMT
Oh that's what i searched for a long time.
Thanks a lot
