22 Free Seamless Vector Pattern Resources Perfect For Web Design
Dainis GraverisPatterns actually can be found almost everywhere – in print design, web design, graphic design etc. For example if you use pattern in web design, just set CSS repeat-x-y and you’ll get beautiful background,but image will be very small and page load time will be much faster. There are very big variety how you can use and implement patterns, but the fact is – free resources – like patterns, brushes, shapes are big time savers. Of course it’s better to create your own stuff, but sometimes you receive project with fast deadline and you need everything to do fast and this is one of the solutions.
This list just features 22 resource sites and several very well written articles with premade pattern collections, it was very interesting for me to write this article, I am hoping it will be interesting reading and useful resource for bookmarking.

Posted 78 days ago 29I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many sites that offer patterns at one place! Thank you for that extensive work and for sharing it here. I use those all the time, and mostly I make my own, but it would be nice from time to time to cut some slack and just choose from the ones already made.

Posted 112 days ago 27Hi,
Thank you for this share, I like it, and I agree about logo sites they are expanding so much, the problem is as a designer, I can’t find a free logo eps and ai format, I wonder how is possible you did not list the biggest database of logo in the web http://www.logopub.net where there are over 200 000 logos on EPS and AI format, + the snapshot., because as a designer I wouldn’t like myself to download logo or waste my time on something that I do not know how it looks like, so always is better to have a snapshot for the logo.
Hope you can add it to the list to help the maximum possible of designers.
Best regards
Nadia
