There are some pretty nice icons there. My favorite are the credit card ones: http://www.iconfinder.com/search/?q=iconset%3AThemeShock-cre...

It says at the top: License: Free for commercial use , but I also recommend going through the Readme to make absolutely sure.

I mean in regards to them being mostly trademarks of other companies.

That entire set looks dangerous.

Iconfinder is great, yes. I also like Picons - royalty-free vector icons. Great for commercial projects. Cheap and good looking, check it out: http://picons.me

Awesome collection.

I've used the IconSweet2 set for various custom UITabBarItem icons in iOS applications. They fit amazingly well with the System Icons.

There's plenty of fair use cases for the trademarks of others, you're pretty much free to use them as long as you are talking about the products and companies the trademarks belong to, and not trying to abuse them for my own products.

As for why you would want to use someone else's reproductions of these trademarks instead of the official images, I have no idea...

I love The Noun Project. They have the simplest, most easily recognizable set. Just wish they had all the social media ones as well: http://www.iconfinder.com/search/?q=iconset:nounproject
