Icons everywhere, the icon has now become a powerful
communication tool, such as startups and companies recognize the importance and
potential upside to invest in this area.. So there is no surprise that icon
design has become serious profession and create something meaningful that will
ultimately leave a mark on the way we interact with the digital world that has
become more and more integrated into our mundane lives.
In this article I share some simple, basic keys to effective
custom icon design which can create great results if they are followed.
Icons should be natural and fit into their ‘family’ if they
are part of a larger icon sets, and simplicity is the best way of going about
this. This doesn’t necessarily follow current design trends, but it's obviously
important to stay creative and custom icons should have communicated a message
to a client, plain and straightforward.
Consistency is one of the simplest ways of making you free icons
set
when you need to design a number of icons for any project. Go with an essential
style for your entire icon set whether you’re making an Icon for website or
icon for mobile.
With consistency and simplicity, it’s also important that
your custom iconsstay different from one another. If your icons become too
identical,this will confuse users and make difficult their interaction with a
system.
Icons should be versatile for a range of environments,
particularly if your icon will be used across various platforms.
The icons has it’s own significance, it should be aligned
with the content or the main idea it has been designed. An improper icon design
may often bemuse the users. This can happen when there is no match of icon and
web content. It must be ubiquitously acceptable.
