Drawing Toolbar Icons

Anyone have a good resource for icons that I can use on a drawing toolbar?

I've already tried a few icon sites and none have drawing toolbar specific ones unfortunately. I don't understand why ESRI doesn't just share theirs, at least the look/feel would be standardized.

I'll probably end up using the ones from the flex viewer but I'm going to have to do some work to them to make them fit & look right.

Bah.

dojo has a bunch included in their source, but i don't know if the icons share the same licensing as the code does. i'm also not sure if there are drawing specific icons. i know there are office type toolbars.

you could just right-click on the images for esri's web drawing tools and save the image..
then use it.. maybe check out google map icons..

I've only found a few drawing icons from ESRI, they just use buttons (too big and ugly). It would be nice if they could just make a page that has all their icons on it like Google does.

I'll post up the ones that I modified from the flex viewer if anyone wants them.

For my custom navigation bar, I scaled these down to 16x16:

They look better than anything I can draw pixel-by-pixel!

That's a great idea and some really good looking icons there but still none specific to drawing unfortunately. I ended up using the icons from the flex sample viewer:
http://resources.esri.com/arcgisserver/apis/flex/index.cfm?fa=codeGalleryDetails&scriptID=15905

I've been using that viewer for a couple years so they should be used to those icons anyway.
