Dev Depot: Symb.ly — Free Icon Downloads

Calling itself the largest collection of mono icons and symbols designed especially for mobile apps, wireframes and web design, Symbly (www.symb.ly) offers a range of free (and accessible) icon downloads, as well as premium packs of vector versions of its icons for designers seeking to add a fresh, contemporary look to their projects.

Upfront is the Symbly Lite Font, a selection of 70 classic icons in a single web font, which provides an easy entry point for designers and other users that are seeking a simple solution to graphical embellishment.

While free online graphics libraries are not hard to find, the more options that designers have available, the better off they are.

Need to do some wireframing to illustrate a proof of concept? The Wireframe Pack contains a selection of 50 traditional web elements including radio buttons and check boxes, plus arrow, loading icons and other useful icons.

Symbly also offers four free “General Pack” collections, containing 50 icons each — with themes such as a diverse set of general web-based icons, including shopping, tools, settings, browser, Internet and hardware icons; a package of icons such as ribbons and badges that can be used as small icons or large components, with a wide range of social themed and communication icons; another collection contains a general mix of icons with a focus on sports, games and nature, and also has a wide range of weather themed icons; while the final General Pack offers icons for media player controls and sound options, with a range of hardware icons including an SD card, PC, laptop and camera, plus coffee, cupcakes, carrots and other items — sure, they may not all be truly useful on a porn site, but there’s always a viable context for everything…

For those seeking a greater selection of social media icons and logos than are offered in the General Packs, Symbly Social includes 50 graphics targeting blogging platforms and video sharing sites, plus bookmarking, social news, design and other networks.

A free collection of 100 Foursquare-inspired Gamification Badges helps designers to ride the latest development trend — and are equally suited to those who just like brightly colored icons with a touch-screen friendly fanciful flair.

While free online graphics libraries are not hard to find, coming up with the right look can often be challenging, so the more options that designers have available, the better off they are — check out Symbly to see if its look and feel suits your developmental needs.

How Adult Businesses Can Navigate Global Compliance Demands

The internet has made the world feel small. Case in point: Adult websites based in the U.S. are now getting letters from regulators demanding compliance with foreign laws, even if they don’t operate in those countries. Meanwhile, some U.S. website operators dealing with the patchwork of state-level age verification laws have considered incorporating offshore in the hopes of avoiding these new obligations — but even operators with no physical presence in the U.S. have been sued or threatened with claims for not following state AV laws.

Building Sustainable Revenue Without Opt-Out Cross-Sales

Over the past year, we’ve seen growing pushback from acquirers on merchants using opt-out cross-sales — also known as negative option offers. This has been especially noticeable in the U.S. In fact, one of our acquirers now declines new merchants during onboarding if an opt-out flow is detected. Existing merchants submitting new URLs with opt-out cross-sales are being asked to remove them.

Accumulate enough disputes, and both your reputation and revenue could be at risk.

From Compliance to Confidence: The Future of Safety in Adult Platforms

In numerous countries and U.S. states, laws now require platforms to prevent minors from accessing age-inappropriate material. But the need for safeguarding doesn’t end with age verification.

How to Switch Payment Processors Without Disrupting Business

For many merchants, the idea of switching payment processors can feel pretty overwhelming. That’s understandable. After all, downtime can stall sales, recurring subscriptions can suddenly fail, or compliance gaps can put accounts at risk.
