If you want to mark your design work as licenced under a Creative Commons licence and include the respective icons, you can download them as SVG, EPS and PNG files and even as true type font at creativecommons.org/about/downloads/. Since I often work with custom shapes in Photoshop, I created a custom shape set featuring all Creative Commons icons, which I wanted to share with you. Download it here.

What are Creative Commons licences?

Creative Commons licences are the right choice if you want to share your work with others. For instance: the contents of this website are generally licenced under the Creative Commons BY-NC-ND 3.0 licence, which means that you can use the texts and images I created for non-commercial purposes without asking me, provided that you don’t change them and credit me, ideally with a link to this website.

Creating this set was only possible, because the icons themselves are licenced under the Creative Commons Attribution Licence, which allows me to adapt and share them.
