The icons
Icons are useful in the case when there is a lot of information of the same type and identical links on the site. Icons help to individualize visually each list point in order a visitor will be able to choose easier them.
The icons for the different occasions
Icons are used if a visitor profile has a rich functionality, or if a particular item is needed to be found and remembered quickly. Due to the fact that a picture is read more quickly than a text, icons are used usually for the categories of goods. A visitor has been getting accustomed to the way a point looks like and won’t read the text while the next time visiting, but is going to find ‘his icon’. Also, icons are used if the interfaces don’t have much space. The icon says more than a text next to it.
The same icons or similar in style ones are made usually for the same cases.

Very small icons
Though the icons which have the 16x16 size are simple visually, it is very difficult to draw them as the number of pixels is too little and a designer have no space to show his fantasy.
However the16x16 icons suit to the best advantage for the sites with rich functionality.

The icons-teasers
We use teasers in order to palm off the information on the topic to a visitor. They are the part of the internal banner system of a site. Icons-teasers make the website pages bright and comfortable. When a visitor views a page he sees the icons-teasers at the foot of it and goes through them.
Teasers are special banners that have been created in the united style with the design of the site.

Big icons
Recently the notion of a big icon have been perishing, as the monitors with the high resolution make the images with the size, for example, 256x256 pixels look like icons.
It is talked of mini-illustrations instead of icons in these cases.
