bg-icons

by thatbritguy

Crisp and sharp icon font for torrent/nzb clients and providers designed by @thatbritguy.

Originally designed as torrent/nzb client and provider icons for the HTPC Manager project but I'm making them available here as they could be useful to other projects. I was frustrated with how poor png graphics look when used as icons and using svg files was proving problematic. So I decided to create my own set of icons as an icon font that would look crisp and sharp at all sizes (including Retina displays) and could be easily manipulated. I tried to create simple and clear icons that would be easily recognisable at any size whilst also capturing the spirit of the original client and provider logos. I anticipate adding more icons in the future on an as-needed basis.

How to use

Just follow these simple steps:

  1. Download the latest release from here
  2. Extract the files and copy to your project
  3. Ensure the CSS is correctly referenced
  4. Include the icons by using the "bg" class followed by the icon name: <i class="bg bg-logo"></i>
  5. Manipulate the icon as you would any other font, ex: <i class="bg bg-logo" style="font-family:'bg-icons';font-size:28px;font-weight: normal;color:#00ff00"></i>

To see a full list of included icons along with the correct icon name to use please see the bg-icons-demo.html file included in the root of the bg-icons source.

Special classes

You can use some special classes I created to quickly customise any bg-icon. Just include these modifiers to the class:

  • bg-xs - 16px size - ideal for buttons and icons, ex: <i class="bg bg-logo bg-xs"></i>
  • bg-inverse - inverted icon - ideal if using bg-icons on a dark background, ex: <i class="bg bg-logo bg-inverse"></i>
  • bg-[name]-c - coloured icon - use a brand-coloured version of an icon by appending -c to the name, ex: <i class="bg bg-logo-c"></i>
