ecology ... ]<br><br><br>Some facts:<br>* it is currently quite hard for NGO to find free cliparts (but even<br> simple icons !) related to these subjects (seems like there are far<br> less graphic designers than programmers)<br><br>* reusable or not, most cliparts or icons seem to come from firms<br> themselves thus greenwashing icons (green factories, airports with<br> flowers, ...) for which shutterstock provides some good samples.<br><br>* biggest (national, international) NGO often make use of professional<br> work which is rarely reusable and never modifiable<br><br>So, to stay short, as I'm unsure about the adequacy of this post, there<br>are roughly between 1 and 3 dozens of very common terms that come to<br>mind (in the specific field of ecology) in need of free illustrations.<br>[ and that's ridiculously small in comparison of the number of free<br>desktop icons sets available out there ]<br><br><br>Especially for
those, here, who lack ideas about what to draw, please be<br>sure that free icons on this subject would benefit a lot for a number of<br>associations.<br><br><br><br>Sincerely yours<br><br><br>[1] <a href="http://openclipart.org/search/?query=ecology" target="_blank">http://openclipart.org/search/?query=ecology</a><br>[2] <a href="https://blueprints.launchpad.net/openclipart/+spec/request-page" target="_blank">https://blueprints.launchpad.net/openclipart/+spec/request-page</a><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>clipart mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:clipart@lists.freedesktop.org" href="mailto:clipart@lists.freedesktop.org">clipart@lists.freedesktop.org</a><br><a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/clipart" target="_blank">http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/clipart</a><br><br><br> </div> </div> </div></body></html>
