You are building a forum skin, a blog theme or a chat site, and the navigation images you have don't match each other. One arrow is glossy, another is flat, and the mail icon comes from a different set entirely. Blue Web Buttons from Icon Empire is a single set of navigation icons painted in one blue theme, so the whole page looks like it belongs together.

Key features
One blue theme across 48 navigation icons
Every icon is painted in the same blue palette, so you don't have to mix styles. The set covers common controls: Add and Remove, Up and Down, Left and Right, Favourites, Home, Lock and Unlock, Zoom In and Zoom Out, Rotate, Playback, Mail and Message.
Two ready-made sizes, 48x48 and 64x64
Each icon comes in 48x48 and 64x64 pixels. That makes 96 files, so you can pick a size for toolbars or a larger one for page navigation without resizing anything yourself.
Transparent PNG files that sit on any background
The icons are saved as PNG on a transparent background. You can place them on a light or dark layout, such as a blog theme or forum skin, without a white box around each one.
Who it's for
It suits web designers and developers who build social networks, communication sites, blogs and forums. It also works for anyone who wants to customize a chat or instant messenger look with a clean, uniform theme.
