What It Does
Anicons provides a collection of 47 pre-animated 2D icons designed for After Effects motion graphics work. Each icon comes fully rigged with expression controls, letting you adjust colors, stroke weight, shadows, and animation timing without touching keyframes. The library started with 40 icons and grew through updates.
Note: This product has been discontinued and is no longer available for purchase.
Key Features
Expression-based controls. Every icon includes sliders and color pickers in the Effects panel. Change primary and secondary colors, toggle details and shadows, or adjust animation speed through pseudo-effect controls rather than diving into layers.
1000x1000px resolution. Icons render at high resolution, suitable for HD and 4K projects. Each asset is built from shape layers, so you can scale without quality loss.
Customization options. The rigged setup serves as a starting point. Add textures, use icons as masks, or redraw them frame-by-frame for unique looks. Controls handle the baseline adjustments, creative tweaks are yours to make.
Tutorials included. The package came with “Anicons Insights” videos showing how to customize individual icons and integrate them into projects.
Who It’s For
Motion designers working on explainer videos, UI animations, or infographics where icon animation is a regular task. The expression controls save time compared to building animated icons from scratch, while maintaining flexibility for project-specific adjustments.
Pricing
Originally offered as pay-what-you-want with a suggested price of €39 (approximately $50). The creators promised free updates with new icons if the project gained traction. The product is now discontinued and unavailable through aescripts.
