What does an icon designer do?
Most icon designers handle some or all of this. Pick the parts you need and we'll put them in your brief.
Website icon sets
Matching icons for your services, features and navigation that sit neatly with your site design.
App interface icons
Icons for buttons, menus and tabs that stay clear at small sizes on phones and screens.
App store icons
The icon people tap on their home screen, with concept options and every size the stores need.
Brand icon libraries
A set of icons in your brand style for signage, packaging, reports and presentations.
Icon style guides
Rules for line weight, corners and colour so new icons still match the set later on.
Wayfinding and signage icons
Clear symbols for signs, maps and building directions that people understand at a glance.
Infographic and report icons
Icons that make data, steps and features easier to scan in reports and slides.
Redrawing existing icons
Turning mismatched or stock icons into one consistent, custom set.
File preparation and handover
SVG, PNG and source files organised so your developers and team can use them straight away.
