Icons are really time consuming for a graphic designer, I like this site: 
http://www.iconfinder.net as it has good quality free icons with a filter to 
show the ones allowed for commercial use. Even an API in there J

 

I started out thinking everything in Silverlight should be vector based XAML so 
it can scale to any size but found it way too difficult to create, I’m back to 
just using nice PNG images. That said if you get a kit of icons in a vector 
format then expression design should be able to convert them to XAML, when 
comparing filesizes remember that the xaml will be zipped. I do recommend 
comparing what the filesize will be in xaml vs PNG and whether you need them to 
scale beyond 128x128px or 64x64px size.

Subject: xaml icons

 

Does anyone know of any good free or paid resource for xaml icons?  I can do 
them myself but I'm a bit slow and don't have a graphics designer by my side.

I know there are plenty of converters, as well documented here, but you do need 
something to convert :

I also had hopes for this visio -> xaml but it doesn't work on my machine :

Or I am on the wrong track, perhaps icons are best left as pngs and I should 
just invest in an icon library such as http://www.iconshock.com/ and forget 
about it ?
