How to Explore Popular Tags and Social Links on iconmaniac

Updated

iconmaniac is a long-running icon showcase site (its tagline is "best of icons since 1997"). To explore it, use the Popular Tags section on the page to jump into icon themes, and use the linked social channels — Bubblelove Comics on Instagram and the Like Iconmaniac on Facebook link — to follow or browse related visual content. The site also carries a Sponsored Links block, which is advertising rather than part of the icon collection. No pricing, account, or login requirements are stated on the page.

What each section on the page does

Section What it is How to use it
Popular Tags A tag list for browsing icons by theme or style Click a tag to see icons grouped under that topic
Bubblelove Comics on Instagram A link to an Instagram account referenced on the site Open it to view the comics/visual posts behind the link
Like Iconmaniac on Facebook A Facebook link for the site Use it to follow the site's Facebook presence
Sponsored Links Paid/advertising links Treat as ads; they are separate from the icon content

Step-by-step: finding icons by tag

  1. Open iconmaniac.com.
  2. Scroll to the Popular Tags heading.
  3. Pick a tag that matches what you need (for example, a style or subject you're designing for).
  4. Select the tag and review the icons shown under it.
  5. Repeat with other tags to compare sets before choosing icons for your project.

Expected result: you land on a filtered view of icons tied to that tag, which is faster than scanning the whole site.

Common snag: the page evidence lists the tag section but not the individual tag names, so the exact tags you'll see can vary — work from whatever tags are displayed when you visit.

Following the social channels

  • Instagram (Bubblelove Comics): the site surfaces this account by name. If you want the comic/illustration side of the content rather than icon sets, this is the link to open.
  • Facebook (Like Iconmaniac): the "Like Iconmaniac on Facebook" link is the site's own social presence — useful if you want updates pushed to a feed instead of checking the site.

Both are outbound links, so you'll leave iconmaniac and land on those platforms; you may need to be logged in there to like or follow, depending on the platform's own rules.

A note on Sponsored Links

The SPONSORED LINKS block sits alongside the content but is advertising. It can be a source of unrelated offers, so don't mistake it for curated icon collections — use the Popular Tags section for actual browsing.

Quick decision guide

  • Want icons by theme: start with Popular Tags.
  • Want the site's visual/comic content: open the Bubblelove Comics Instagram link.
  • Want ongoing updates: use the Facebook link.
  • Want to avoid ads: skip the Sponsored Links block.
