Download: Free Google Glass Icon Set (Vector & Raster Formats)Looking for a complete Google Glass icon set that gives you both crisp vectors and ready-to-use raster files? This free Google Glass icon set is designed for UI/UX designers, mobile developers, and web creators who need a consistent, polished visual style across platforms. Below you’ll find everything about the pack: what’s included, file formats, usage rights, how to customize the icons, best practices for implementation, and quick tips for optimizing performance.
What’s included in the pack
- 50+ icons focused on Google Glass and smart eyewear concepts: frames, lenses, HUD elements, camera modules, touchpads, notifications, and voice-control indicators.
- Vector formats: AI (Adobe Illustrator), EPS, and SVG — ideal for scaling without loss of quality.
- Raster formats: PNG files at multiple sizes (16×16, 24×24, 32×32, 64×64, and 128×128) with transparent backgrounds.
- Multi-layer PSD file containing grouped, editable icons for designers who prefer Photoshop.
- A simple CSS sprite sheet and downloadable SVG sprite for web use.
- A lightweight icon font (WOFF/WOFF2/TTF) for seamless integration into projects that benefit from font-based icons.
- README with licensing details, installation instructions, and attribution guidelines.
Licensing & usage
- Free for personal and commercial use. You can use the icons in apps, websites, presentations, and printed materials.
- No attribution required for most use cases, but redistribution of the raw source files (vector/PSD) may be restricted; check the included README for specifics.
- The pack does not include trademark permissions. If you use the icons in a way that implies official Google endorsement, obtain appropriate permissions.
Why use vectors (SVG/AI/EPS)
Vectors keep your icons sharp at any size and are essential for responsive design. SVG files are especially web-friendly: they’re small, styleable with CSS, and accessible via inline code. Use AI/EPS when you need precise editability inside professional design tools.
Example advantages:
- Scalability without pixelation
- Easy color and stroke adjustments
- Smaller file sizes for simple shapes (compared to high-res PNGs)
- Animatable with CSS or JavaScript
When to use raster (PNG) files
Raster PNGs are convenient when you need fixed-size assets for legacy systems, quick prototypes, or environments that don’t support SVG. The included PNG sizes cover common UI needs and ensure crisp display on standard DPI screens. For high-DPI (Retina) displays, use the 2× or 3× equivalents or prefer SVG.
How to customize the icons
- In vector editors (Illustrator, Inkscape): ungroup elements, edit fills/strokes, change corner radii, or swap out components to match your design system.
- In Photoshop: use the PSD layers to recolor, add layer styles (shadows, glows), or export custom-sized PNGs.
- For web: inline SVGs allow CSS control: “`html
“`
Implementation tips
- Use SVG sprites or an icon font to reduce HTTP requests.
- Prefer inline SVGs when you need accessibility attributes (ARIA) or CSS/JS animation.
- Keep icons semantically meaningful: add accessible labels (aria-label) when icons act as buttons or links.
- Optimize SVGs with tools like SVGO to remove metadata and minimize file size.
- For mobile apps, include vector PDFs for iOS and nine-patch PNGs for Android where appropriate.
Performance & accessibility
- Compress PNGs with tools like pngquant or TinyPNG.
- Use WOFF2 for icon fonts to save bandwidth.
- Ensure sufficient color contrast between icons and backgrounds for visibility.
- Provide text alternatives (aria-label or visually-hidden text) for assistive technologies.
- Test on multiple screen sizes and DPIs to confirm clarity.
Example use cases
- App UI: navigation, status indicators, and settings related to smart eyewear features.
- Landing pages: hero sections, feature lists, and documentation graphics.
- Presentations: slides showcasing AR/VR product concepts.
- Prototyping: quick mockups in Figma, Sketch, or Adobe XD.
How to download
Look for the “Download” button on the item’s page, or choose between the full ZIP (vectors + rasters + extras) and a lightweight web-only package (SVGs + CSS sprite + icon font). After downloading, review the README for any usage notes.
Quick checklist before using the icons
- Confirm license terms for your specific use.
- Optimize and subset icon fonts if you only use a few glyphs.
- Add accessible labels for interactive icons.
- Test in target environments (browser versions, mobile devices).
If you’d like, I can:
- Provide the SVG code for one of the icons (e.g., Google Glass outline).
- Suggest color palettes that fit a tech/AR product.
- Create a small CSS/JS snippet to animate the icons on hover.
