Iconography

Icons can be a great way to bring essential content to the point. They are a great attention grabber and they help your website visitors to find and scan content.

Best Practices

  • Use the SVG format when saving out icons. SVG is vector-based, and allows an image to be scalable without any loss in quality.
  • Try to use stroke-based icons, and do not outline them. We can control stroke thickness via CSS if an SVG is embedded in the code.
  • Please minify any SVG code to reduce file size.
  • When saving icons, make sure they are 'responsive'. Otherwise they can get chopped off when settings different dimensions in CSS.
