IcoStory pictograms

It’s time to tell you the story of one more collection of ours, IcoStory ✅⠀

After the families like Innovicons and Liconica were elaborated, we came up with the idea that we needed to create a family of pictograms. A pictogram is a small graphic symbol at the first look of which you should understand its meaning, and that makes the creation of it quite a challenging task. And the style should also be consistent throughout the collection used on one source.⠀

The work started with thinking over the themes, and it was especially important as the metaphors needed to be clear and readable. The first sets included departments, stores, and medical services. We have many sets that were aimed to serve as wayfinding: city infrastructure, railway station guide, zoo, airport, hotel, and school sets. In the carousel, you can also see extracts from 3d printing and VR sets.⠀IcoStory pictograms are minimalistic, and that’s why they perfectly fit in the small size. But as we were creating them with love attention to detail, they won’t lose their quality when enlarged. 

They have simple forms and recognizable silhouettes, they can be a great solution for websites or apps, but you can experiment and use them as stickers for a package, for example.⠀

We can say that it’s not that easy to create a laconic and interesting image using only several lines and dots, but we managed to do that 💪⠀We’ll tell you the rest of the story later, now you may look at IcoStory collection on Creative Market.
