We're going to split this group in half because it's so large and most likely to have unexpected issues with the standard.
@designlanguage @Dnpizarro could you post here with a list of what icons each of you are updating?
Here are the icons I've worked on. They haven't been fully outlined yet as I want to make sure there aren't any other tweaks to our guidelines.
Overall, the intent behind our sizing grid is to give every icon a similar visual prominence, so one doesn't feel much larger than another. This grid doesn't strictly apply when you have oddly-shaped icons, so I've noted below where there are exceptions. Here's an example:
Name | Symbol | In circle | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Credit-card | |||
Building-credit | Broke the grid for visual balance. | ||
Prepaid-cards | New dollar symbol that works better at small sizes. | ||
Contract | |||
Getting-credit-card | This uneven shape breaks the grid to keep it visually balanced. | ||
Money | Added a circle to the dollar bill symbol. | ||
Money-transfer | Broke the grid here. | ||
Quick-Cash | |||
Debt | This will need a new concept after MVP is complete. | ||
Mortgage | We should avoid using text if possible, but this concept needs it. We'll revisit this after MVP. This also breaks the grid. | ||
Buying-car | |||
Debt-collection | Spaces between fingers are a little thinner than our guidelines. This may have to be an exception. | ||
Complaint | New exclamation point here that better matches the other symbols. Breaks the grid due to the triangle at the bottom. |
Below is my half of the financial products icons. Also, @designlanguage you might want to post the web icons you've worked on in issue #574.
Name | Symbol | In circle | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Credit-report | |||
Bank_account | |||
Loan | |||
Payday-loan | Lines in the circle version had to be manual adjusted to create a balanced visual match to the symbol | ||
Paying-college | It was easier to just draw a newer version. We can change this once we get some feedback. | ||
Retirement |
@Dnpizarro - thanks, I moved my group 2 set to the other page.
I like these. My only comment is that there shouldn't be hard edges on the bank (similar to how we changes the house).
Below are the notes from our working session earlier today:
Prepaid: Center circle icon, and make coin larger. Contract: Make the top of pen more rounded. Getting credit card: Center the circle icon. Money Transfer: Reconsider a lower stroke weight, 35pt=symbol, 30pt=circle Bank account: Round the edges on both symbol and circle version Loan: Check stroke weight Payday-loan: This will be redrawn at a later sprint. Paying for college: Bottom part too long and looks like paceman. Also, the negative space on the symbol is too big, make 50pt stroke. Retirement: Make tail smaller and curve the ear shape.

Update the first group of icons and export for print and web. Ensure the file names match the names used in the Design Manual, the paths are grouped into a top-level group, and everything is converted to outlines.
