Summer Icons Set
Last Updated on August 4, 2026 by Editorial Team
A free set of colorful summer icons, crafted by Nikola Milasinovic. This .Sketch project contains 12 icons: sun, palm tree, travel suitcase, camera, ice cream, coconut drink, slices of watermelon, beach umbrella, slippers, swimming glasses, waves, board shorts.
What makes this summer icons set work so well is the consistency of its hand rendered style across a dozen very different objects.
A sun, a palm tree, a suitcase, a camera, a popsicle, a coconut drink, watermelon, a beach umbrella, flip flops, sunglasses, a wave, and board shorts all share the same rounded corners, soft shadows, and slightly playful proportions.
The palette leans into warm coral reds, sunny yellows, aqua blues, and mint greens, with small white highlights that give each icon a bit of dimension without tipping into heavy skeuomorphism.
Nothing here feels flat or clip-arty. Each icon reads as a tiny illustration rather than a generic glyph, which is exactly what gives this set its charm.
Because the icons cover such a wide range of vacation and beach imagery, they naturally suit travel agency websites, hotel and resort booking pages, summer sale banners, and seasonal email campaigns.
They also work nicely for app onboarding screens built around a travel or lifestyle theme, packing checklists, weather apps with a seasonal skin, or blog posts about summer destinations.
Social media graphics benefit a lot from this kind of set too. A single watermelon slice or beach umbrella icon can anchor an Instagram story promoting a summer sale without needing a full photo shoot.
Event flyers for pool parties, festivals, or summer camps are another good fit, since the icons can stand in for illustrations when there is no budget for custom artwork.
Adjusting the Icons for Your Own Layouts
Because the artwork is vector based, resizing any icon up or down keeps every edge crisp, so you can drop them into a hero banner at large scale or shrink them for a favicon-sized badge.
If you want the set to match a specific brand palette, start by recoloring the largest shapes first, like the suitcase body or the umbrella canopy, then adjust the smaller accent shapes to keep the contrast balanced.
Try to preserve the relationship between light and dark tones within each icon rather than flattening everything to one color, since that shading is what gives them their dimensional feel.
Grouping a few icons together, say the sunglasses, flip flops, and coconut drink, can create a quick flat lay style graphic for a header or footer without any photography at all.
If your layout calls for a lighter or more minimal look, try isolating just three or four icons rather than using the full set, since a sparser arrangement often reads cleaner on a busy page.
These icons pair well with rounded sans serif type and pastel or off white backgrounds, which keep the attention on the illustrations rather than competing with heavy typography.
They also sit comfortably alongside product photography of swimwear, sunscreen, or travel gear, used as small supporting accents in the margins or corners of a page rather than as the main visual.
