Then, a few weeks ago, when one of my client asked me if I could design some Twitter illustrations for one of his project, I thought it would be nice to design a couple of Twitter icons to give away on my blog. I started to sketch out a few ideas and finalized them in Illustrator. Here’s the end result:

The zip contains two transparent PNG icons available in resolutions of 128×128 pixels, 256×256 and 512×512:

Alternatively, you can download the source files if you need to modify text or colors. The sources are in AI files (Adobe Illustrator CS3), PSD files and EPS files:

You can freely use them for both your private and commercial projects, including templates and themes. A link back or some credits would be nice but not mandatory.

Conclusion

That’s my small contribution to the Twitter community. Leave me a note in the comments if you like them or Follow Me! I have a couple of other sketches waiting in my notebook so I might create more icons in the future if you really like them.

Update:

You can preview the icons on my Flickr account if you want to see how they look when size is reduced:
