Looking for Cache Icons


Recommended Posts

Posted

To create a suitable cache listings we're looking for large icons etc. of all of the different cache types and climbing icons (T5). Can anybody help? All found icons are not bigger than 800 x 800px, especially Virtuals, Giga, GPS Maze, CITO, Lab Caches, Webcam are very hard to find.

Large! It's very difficult to create banners, listings or anything else with 80px-icons. Don't know, why GS doesn't spend some large icons for the users?!

Are your source files only 80x80 pixels? I once found a couple of decent sized icons for printing (I think they are the same one or two on the site that have a large version), and was able to upscale them a little, by tracing them in AI. Once vectorized, some may be printed huge and still look great, depending on the trace.

 

It's possible to draw them from scratch, but I didn't need that for mine, and can't anyway, since I'm artistically deficient. :yikes:

You can find svg (vector images) files of many of the icons you seek here.

You've got to be kidding me! Those images are extremely small!

 

If they are real vector files, you can scale them as you want.

SVG = Scalable Vector Graphics.

I tried to download those when the link was posted last year. The "SVG" icons do in fact scale, but they're unfinished fan art, not official icons, and some more unfinished than others. They're a starting point for an artist to create scalable versions. The ones that need no text may work just fine on a banner, with a little touch-up, depending on the situation. Here's a comparison of GS icons (on the left) with the SVG files (on the right), after I worked on the line thickness of the SVG icons, which were hairlines:

FYI, the 80x80 icons (and the tiny 32x32 companions) can be found here on the Cache Types page.

 

These icons are great and I'd like to use them. But I did not find anything about terms of usage, license type or anything like that on the Groundspeak website. Can anyone help?

Maybe the pictures here will help you. Unfortunately, I have not found any others:

There's a little problem that you can't click on an image and download it.

But if they are really needed, here they are in the vector:

Change "2" to:

3 for multi
4 for virtuals
5 for letterbox
6 for event
8 for mystery
9 for APE
11 for webcam
12 for locationless

That's a relief!  The OP needs them eight years ago.

I can't download the images. They're big enough to screenshot, but it would be nice to download the SVGs properly.

 

I noticed cachemoji has the icons. Could there be a way to download them from there?

Are you saying your browser doesn't allow saving images?  

 

There are links above in this thread.  Click this, for example:

https://www.geocaching.com/app/ui-icons/icons/cache-types/2.svg

In Brave on Android, there's a download button in the menu bar.  In Brave in Windows, "More Tools... Save As" is a way to save a file, or right-click on the displayed icon and save it.  The image that you see is the SVG file already "downloaded" for view.  The next step is to save the file.

 

In Brave with Windows 11, and in other browsers, right-click this icon, and "save image as..."

To get more icons, you must choose the image name as described in this thread.  But I haven't tested them to be sure they're all still available.

These are brilliant, just what I need, but without going through thousands of numbers, any idea what the numbers are for:

 

Lost and Found Event Cache

 

Thanks.
