About the Templates
All icons are vector shape layers in Photoshop, which means you can resize these badboys to the size of a tractor trailer and still won’t see image degradation.
These very mobile-centric glyph icon sets include “people” themed icons, “social” or “connecting” themed glyph icons, “award” and “trophy” glyphs, and a hoard of miscellaneous glyphs, all for mobile applications, all available for download.
I’ve also taken some extra time and sliced out transparent .pngs so you can quickly get to using them in your app.
