The essence of usable icon.
--
Icons have become an integral part of UI design. They are powerful and depictive. Icons represent and help in recalling and defining the design language of a brand. They are not only good-looking, creative but also are a living character and are self explanatory.
In my opinion here is how they support design:
- Animated icon helps improve usability of the feature/product.
- They support UX communication
- Are used as attention grabbers &
- Build strong storytelling about a feature or product.
In a nutshell, if designed well, the essence of an icon helps build on communication, visuals and usability of UI screen in a rather intuitive way.
Whats your opinion? Anything that you would like to share? Pic from one of the iconography workshop session.
