Matching site icons?

realizment · November 2015

Hi Guys,

I am about to make a new site and have purchased a premium theme (I am in no way good at all with graphics/design)

In the past Before WP I would have some design my sites from scratch,
then a few years ago when WP became the the go to thing, I bought
themes as close to what I wanted and paid people to edit the theme to my
liking..

Now I see themes have advanced so much where the majority of work can
be done within the theme.. My question here is how and where do people
like me (no graphic skills) find site icons to match the site in the
genre of the site..

For example: You find the perfect theme design and layout and color
wise etc, but the demo is for a cooking website, so the icons are food
related. But I want my site to be music related etc, where does one
find icons to replace the stock ones?

Here is a good example. http://www.benlindell.com/

He is using this theme http://demo.brankic.net/?theme=BigBangWP

See how his icons match/fit perfectly with his chosen theme.

I appreciate any help I realize this a very n00b question and im not
sure if theres some databases or my only option is to pay but I wanted
to ask! Thank you!

Hi,

basically, we create such images ourselves. However, if you don't have any graphic, you must look for such icons on services like https://www.iconfinder.com/

Thanks!

Thank you. So per my other thread, these cant be added without customizing theme files? Thank you

With customizing files, everything is possible but such modifications are not included into theme. So all changes must be done on your own and after them, your website developer will be responsible for your site.
