Is it okay to upload self-created icons, smileys, etc.?

Hello,

As I am still quite new here, I am constantly trying to determine which images to create and which to avoid.

I have been considering what users might search for and have recently uploaded a set of icons for websites and software that are typically used. These include user profiles, shopping carts, diverse buttons, and icon sets.

Compared to my usual uploads, these are much simpler, and I feel a bit unsure about them.

I hope that the worst that can happen is that the items won't be accepted due to quality issues and that my account won't be flagged negatively.

Something like the images I've uploaded here (just in higher resolution).

Should i delete them, or can i leave it to the jury ?

    Sure. Icons are even a subsection of vector graphics. I would theme them together and submit one theme as an icon collection. As a designer, I know that it is difficult to find a consistent stream of icons of the same style. So you could also add the same icons in different styles.

     

    Icons should be uploaded as vectors, IMHO. I wouldn't buy pixel graphics as vectors.

    Of course you can ONLY upload your own creations.

    If you've already discovered that the type of asset you're considering is already hugely over saturated, keepin mind thatbyou are unlikely to ever sell yours unless you can provide something unique and different.
