Style of Tech Icons:

Tech icons should be as clean and simple as possible while still conveying the concept. The tech icons of Alpha Centari, and our category icons are a good stylistic model.

Notice here how at smaller sizes, most of the icons turn to unreadable static while the category icons are still recognizable.

icons should:

  • Be on a transparent background
  • Be recognizable at smaller sizes
  • Have a strong silhouette
  • Make minimal use of gradients, or variations in tone
  • Avoid tiny details which carry the meaning

A list of technologies to aid the creation of icons.
