These are great! The brand new design blog Vibr8bros.com shows us they are worthy of this title – design blog. They just released a free vector pack full of glossy and shiny, colorful Web 2.0 badges (or stickers). If you use Adobe Illustrator, you should check these out: you get the source AI and EPS files to change, alter and use them with your own text!

For those who don’t want to customize this free vector pack, the Virb8 Bros. included 20 seperate transparent PNG files. These you can use directly and put them on your blog or elsewhere with no hassle.

You can download this free vector pack right here.

It’s still January, but you know what, we don’t care! Neither does Bittbox: after a 2-day server downtime due to a senescent hard drive (honestly!), they reward us with three very ’summerish’ vector sunflowers for Adobe Illustrator!

As you may have noticed……Beeex.net featured quite a few things from Bittbox in the past. Now, to be honest, this kit isn’t one of their best ones, but we still decided to feature it. Although it only contains three sunflowers, they are not bad at all, and they can be quite useful indeed.

These sunflowers come as EPS vector files, you can use them with either Illustrator 10 and up or with another vector graphics editor like Inkscape. Alternatively, you can also download the SVG version of the sunflowers.

You can download this .zip file right here. Enjoy!
