This is an F-post: there are a lot of words with the letter “F” in it. Really, we’ll talk about Flat web design, it’s Friday today, and it’s Funny, so why not 
.
Finally, a fabulous set of flat icons and UI freebies is finished for our friends and followers! For me, flat design is a very fruitful trend. First and foremost, it focuses on fundamental features rather than decoration and ‘furniture’. Any facet of flat websites (a ‘facade’, footer, even fonts) looks fresh and fashionable. Flat design forms a new flow with better media flexibility. Where will the flat be in five years? I can’t forecast. Just a few years ago Flash was among favorites too. Even FPhotoshop might finish like those fools (sorry, tools) for which the future firstly was “forever” but in fact they were forgotten much faster than formal farewell with them or their official “funeral” took place. However frankly, I feel flat design isn’t just a fad, it’s here to stay.
Enjoy the fair of flat icons below, use them in your next fantastic flat web design, and stir up the flight of your fancy.
