When you were small, haven’t you ever dreamt of becoming the commander of a space mission? Of exploring outer space and seing the Earth from above? Well, you might not have made it into an actual space shuttle, but maybe you still carry this fascination for everything extraterrestrial inside of you. Great! Because today we want to take you on your very personal trip to space. Buckle up as you’ll become the captain of the command center — and maybe you’ll even make the acquaintance of an actual alien, too. Imagination has got no limits, right?

To take you into unexplored territories, Agata Kuczmińska designed a free set of 77 space icons with planets, meteors, strange creatures, technical equipment, and other things that might cross your way on a space mission. As a special goodie, the set also includes a selection of fan art icons with familiar fellows from sci-fi movies and TV.

All icons carry Agata’s characteristic hand-drawn style and come in three versions: outline, color and sticker. You can download them for free in SVG, EPS, AI, and PNG formats.

Attribution is required, so if you would like to use the icons, please do remember to credit the designer and to link to this article if you want to spread the word in blog posts or anywhere else.

Insights From The Designer

"I’ve been making hand-drawn icons for a while now, and I always wanted to make a Space set, partially because I’m a huge sci fi fan but also because I could let my imagination run free and invent things that are not real, or are they... tum tum tuuum. ;) Anyway, I hope you’ll enjoy the icons and make awesome stuff with them. And if you love the icons make sure to visit my site for more good stuff!"
