Update group 1 icons - Financial Products #573

Closed jimmynotjim closed 6 years ago

jimmynotjim commented 6 years ago

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.

jimmynotjim commented 6 years ago

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: screen shot 2018-01-22 at 6 22 05 pm

Name Symbol In circle Notes
Credit-card screen shot 2018-01-22 at 5 59 57 pm screen shot 2018-01-22 at 6 00 23 pm
Building-credit screen shot 2018-01-22 at 6 00 28 pm screen shot 2018-01-22 at 6 00 34 pm Broke the grid for visual balance.
Prepaid-cards screen shot 2018-01-22 at 6 35 31 pm screen shot 2018-01-22 at 6 35 38 pm New dollar symbol that works better at small sizes.
Contract screen shot 2018-01-22 at 6 00 41 pm screen shot 2018-01-22 at 6 01 47 pm
Getting-credit-card screen shot 2018-01-22 at 6 01 55 pm screen shot 2018-01-22 at 6 02 01 pm This uneven shape breaks the grid to keep it visually balanced.
Money screen shot 2018-01-22 at 6 02 23 pm screen shot 2018-01-22 at 6 02 29 pm Added a circle to the dollar bill symbol.
Money-transfer screen shot 2018-01-22 at 6 02 12 pm screen shot 2018-01-22 at 6 02 16 pm Broke the grid here.
Quick-Cash screen shot 2018-01-24 at 9 40 46 am screen shot 2018-01-24 at 9 40 52 am
Debt screen shot 2018-01-22 at 6 02 38 pm screen shot 2018-01-22 at 6 02 44 pm This will need a new concept after MVP is complete.
Mortgage screen shot 2018-01-22 at 6 02 51 pm screen shot 2018-01-22 at 6 02 56 pm 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 screen shot 2018-01-22 at 6 03 06 pm screen shot 2018-01-22 at 6 03 10 pm
Debt-collection screen shot 2018-01-22 at 6 03 17 pm screen shot 2018-01-22 at 6 03 24 pm Spaces between fingers are a little thinner than our guidelines. This may have to be an exception.
Complaint screen shot 2018-01-22 at 6 03 36 pm screen shot 2018-01-22 at 6 03 40 pm 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 artboard 2 copy 7 artboard 2 copy 15
Bank_account artboard 2 copy 11 artboard 2 copy 19
Loan artboard 2 copy 8 artboard 2 copy 16
Payday-loan artboard 2 copy 9 artboard 2 copy 17 Lines in the circle version had to be manual adjusted to create a balanced visual match to the symbol
Paying-college artboard 2 copy 6 artboard 2 copy 14 It was easier to just draw a newer version. We can change this once we get some feedback.

@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).

Dnpizarro commented 6 years ago

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.
