Basil Icons

Basil Icons is a carefully curated icon collection created by Craftwork, a design agency and marketplace headquartered in Bangkok that supplies UX/UI kits, illustrations, templates, and icons to designers worldwide. The set contains approximately 473 icons split across two styles - outline (clean strokes) and solid (filled shapes) - giving designers flexibility to match their project's visual language.\n\nEvery icon in the collection is built on a 24x24 pixel grid with a minimalistic black aesthetic. The design philosophy prioritizes simplicity and consistency, producing icons that blend naturally into modern web, mobile, and application interfaces without competing with surrounding content.\n\nThe icons span 26 categories covering a broad range of UI needs: Alerts, Arrows, Brand, Carets, Clouds, Commerce, Communications, Controls, Date, Devices, Files, Folders, Geographic, Keyboard, Layout, Logo, Media, Miscellaneous, Real World, Security, Shapes, Signs, Time, UI, Warnings, and Weather. This breadth makes Basil a practical choice as a primary icon set for most product design projects.\n\nBasil Icons was natively designed in Figma and is primarily distributed through the Figma Community, where it has accumulated significant downloads since its initial release in late 2020. The Figma file provides organized components that designers can duplicate directly into their projects. The icons are also available through design aggregators and icon browsers including Iconify (with the basil: prefix), Iconer, SVG Icons, Iconbolt, and Iconbuddy, where they can be downloaded as individual SVGs.\n\nCommunity-driven packages extend Basil Icons to development workflows: react-basil (by Jakhongir Bekov) wraps the icons as React components, and @404-software/basil-icons provides React Native components using react-native-svg with SVGR-generated wrappers. Both packages source icons directly from Craftwork's original designs.\n\nCraftwork is a small team of UX/UI designers, developers, and illustrators known for producing polished design resources. Their catalog includes illustration packs (Storytale), 3D asset libraries, Framer and Webflow templates, font collections, and UI kits. Basil Icons is one of their most popular freebies, reflecting the team's attention to visual consistency and practical design utility. The agency also operates a Pro Access subscription and partners with platforms like Framer for template distribution.\n\nLicensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 (CC BY 4.0), Basil Icons are free for both personal and commercial projects with attribution.
