1680 FREE Star Shaped Social Media Icons

1680 FREE Star Social Media Icons

We know that the same old social media icons can be boring.

That’s why we created the polaroid social media icons and the speech bubble social media icons — and why today we’re bringing you a new star social media icon pack with icons for Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Google+, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and RSS!

Plus, get them in 48 different colors, at 5 different sizes (32×32, 48×48, 64×64, 96×96, 125×125), all as transparent PNGs so you can use them on any color website background.

And we’re giving you the HTML and CSS code to show you exactly how to use them and how to add a cool opacity effect on hover!

Colors included in the icon pack:

Here is some basic HTML and CSS to help get you started after you upload the icon images to your website server:

 
Minimum HTML required to show and link the icons
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/BournCreative"><img src="http://yourdomain.com/FILEPATH/filename.png"/></a>
 
HTML with title and alt tags for usability and SEO
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/BournCreative" title="Bourn Creative On Facebook" alt="Bourn Creative Facebook Icon"><img src="http://yourdomain.com/FILEPATH/filename.png"/></a>
 
HTML with title tag, alt tag, and CSS class to add a simple hover effect to icons

<a class="social-icons" href="https://www.facebook.com/BournCreative" title="Bourn Creative On Facebook" alt="Bourn Creative Facebook Icon"><img src="http://yourdomain.com/FILEPATH/filename.png"/></a>
 
To create the hover effect add the following to your website or WordPress theme style.css file

Complete example
<a class="social-icons" href="https://facebook.com/YOUR-PROFILE"><img src="http://yourdomain.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/32x32-Square-64-FB.png"/></a>
<a class="social-icons" href="https://twitter.com/YOUR-PROFILE"><img src="http://yourdomain.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/32x32-Square-64-TW.png"/></a>
<a class="social-icons" href="https://plus.google.com/YOUR-PROFILE"><img src="http://yourdomain.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/32x32-Square-64-GP.png"/></a>
<a class="social-icons" href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/YOUR-PROFILE"><img src="http://yourdomain.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/32x32-Square-64-LI.png"/></a>
<a class="social-icons" href="http://pinterest.com/YOUR-PROFILE"><img src="http://yourdomain.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/32x32-Square-64-P.png"/></a>
<a class="social-icons" href="http://www.youtube.com/user/YOUR-PROFILE"><img src="http://yourdomain.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/32x32-Square-64-YT.png"/></a>

If you want to use the social icons in a WordPress page or post, you will probably have to remove the line breaks between each HTML link as WordPress will sometimes automatically add breaks and put each icon on its own line instead of inline.
