CS3 Icon Replacement Sets

August 30, 2007

It’s no secret that the original CS3 icon sets are lacking in creative appeal. Many designers out there have come up with their own CS3 icon replacement sets. Many of the icon replacement sets are far worse that the original design, but there are a couple really cool ones out there.
Here are my top picks on the best CS3 icon replacement sets:

  1. CS3 Icon Replacement Set By: Mawz
    best cs3 icon sets
    A cool cube idea that plays off of the orginal cs3 icon set.
  2. CS3 Icon Replacement Set By: Fast Icon
    monster icon sets
    This isn’t an actual CS3 icon set, but it sure works well.
    This is the one Im currently using! You can thank Jim for putting this together for us.
