If you are developing a text editing application or Web applet, an office application or a database, you need very specific graphics for your project. Common office tasks and operations such as printing, faxing, saving and editing documents, as well as various types of file formats such as a Word icon to represent DOC files must have their own icons to be easily recognized.

Getting custom-made icons or employing a designer to design icons in-house can postpone deadlines and contribute to the final cost of the product significantly. While developers of large software suites such as Microsoft Office can afford a set of custom-made icons without hesitation, smaller developers or those making simple text editors or custom-made databases are affected by both costs and delays in ordering or making icons in-house. However, it is easy to save if you use royalty-free stock icons.

Stock icons are instantly available, and their cost is negligible in the final price of the product. Typically, the costs are about a dollar per icon. Wide selection of ready-made office icons makes it possible for everyone to select exactly the icon set to match a particular application.
