Free SVGs From Google For Your Images As Buttons
I've been an eLearning designer and developer since 2005. In 2015 I started my own eLearning design company. I began creating Adobe Captivate video tutorials to help promote my business through my YouTube channel at https://youtube.com/captivateteacher. My intention with my YouTube videos was to attract attention from organizations looking for a skilled Captivate developer. This strategy proved successful as I've worked with clients worldwide, helping them build highly engaging eLearning solutions. In addition, my YouTube channel presented another benefit of attracting aspiring Captivate developers to seek me out as a teacher. I now offer online and onsite training on Adobe Captivate, teaching users the skills to build engaging and interactive learning.

As I continue to contemplate the implication of images as buttons, I start realizing that some of the more difficult things I used to do are no longer necessary. For example, I used to download font-based icon sets and edit my Index.html file in my published Captivate project to display these fonts to show the icons I used for navigation purposes in my elearning course. Not a hugely tricky thing but still, it required extra steps that I would prefer I didn’t have to take. Now, of course, I can use the SVG-based icons that are in the new Assets Window in Adobe Captivate 2019 (Update 2). Unfortunately, this isn’t a long list, so it got me to thinking, what resource do I know of that includes hundreds of SVG based icons?

I thought of the Material Design Icons that Google maintains for developers looking to use material design in their apps. Of course, these are entirely free, and there is nothing to suggest that they are only for Android apps. I downloaded one or two to test them, and they work great. You can even use the color replace feature, which is excellent if you want to have different rollover and down states for your icons. Click on any of these icons and can choose to download them in SVG or PNG format, although I recommend SVG. You even get to select the color white or black.

I have seen similar collections of icons before, but this is the best I have seen. Thank you so much!

I think we’ll discover and use a ton of existing assets.
