These days, the inclusion of ubiquitous social media icons are expected on practically everything. From websites to handouts, you can bet that you’ll see at least one icon representing someone’s staked out space in the social sphere. With the rapid e-Learning realm becoming increasingly social, why not spice up your PowerPoint presentations with the inclusion of your company’s social networks (including blogs, Twitter, Facebook and others)?

In today’s free Friday Find, we’re featuring three resources to help you move away from cookie-cutter social network icons, and easily add a dose of personalization to your next PowerPoint to Flash presentation. Personalized social network icons are:

• Eye catching
  Common social media icons can be just that – common. Command and direct learners’ attention to your company’s social media websites by inserting icons that stand above typical social media icons.
• Embody your brand
  Select a set of social media icons that represent your company to reinforce overall branding. Build parallels between your brand and the content of each site by incorporating fresh and fun icons into your presentation. 
• Complement your design theme
  After dedicating time and focus to building a fantastic rapid e-Learning course, you’ll likely want to choose elements that complement, not conflict with your overall design theme. Using custom social media icons can ensure that your presentation is devoid of contrasting design elements.

To get you started, here are three free social media icon resources, courtesy of Naldz Graphics:
