The Cutest Freebies: Twitter Bird Icons & Illustration
A SMALL BUT CUTE GIVE AWAY & UPDATE, FREE TWITTER ICONS & CHARACTER
More freebies, yes I know! This time we’ve put together a free Illustration, beautifully made by Pasquale D’Silva, and a couple of Icons which you can use for your twitter status sections of your site. The file is a transparent background PNG, so can easily be imported and scaled into any design.
We had to remove the old twitter icons in the set because of a mix up over copyright. But we’ve now got a custom icon and illustration which we’re willing to share with you.
Inspiration & Genius Behind the Bird
I decided rather than just making a Icon that we could have a character that people could use on their own sites however they wish, this gave me a great excuse to use the services of Pasquale D’Silva from Darkmotion.com - The guy’s work has amazed me for a while so as soon as my pen broke I knew who I wanted working on the project.
I wanted to offer an alternative to the “Twitterific Bird” that people tend to use a lot in their sites, I think Pasquale’s Illustration is a lot softer, friendlier and more inviting, and after scaling it down and adding a few tweaks on the Icons, I’m happy at how it now looks in Icon size.
He’s also got a good sense of humour and is very easy to talk to, I’d more than recommend him to anybody, and it might be worth you getting your own custom made twitter illustration from him, take a look at this one he made.

@ James, Adelle, David, Glad you all liked it as much as I did when I saw it
@Lisa - Completely agree, I just love the colours & shapes the most, such great eye for what will look good, and always manages to make even the cutest animals that little more friendly than they are in real life
@Pasquale - Glad you’re happy to have contributed, will certainly be in touch when I get more projects which require your talent. Cheers dude!

I’m also a big fan of Pasquale’s work, I hope it becomes as popular as the Twitterific bird that is commonly used!
