Along the same lines, less "cute", but far more extensive - https://thenounproject.com

Noun Project is fantastic. It's been around for at least a decade and it's hard to find things with no icons these days.

I notice it suffers from the same London Bridge problem, do people never learn? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Bridge_(Lake_Havasu_Cit...

  • If you're making an icon of Tower Bridge, you're going to tag it with "London" and "bridge", so it's going to turn up in all searches for London bridge.

    At this point though, the two bridges should just swap names.

I've contributed a bit to Noun Project, it's lovely. Submitted icons need to pass a manual quality gate, which does take a while, but it means that you don't run into bad AI slop or broken SVG paths as often as you do from other stock graphics services.
