Use of Icons

Icons establish a visual language for elements that are frequently repeated. Over time, they become known to users even if they can’t articulate it.

We use icons to:

  • Signify “Home”
  • Represent a special type of link that carries an action
  • Represent social media links
  • Highlight a particularly important bullet or testimonial
  • Highlight a search functionality with a magnifying glass

Icons should always closely match their action or accompanying text.
