Icon Details

by Max Burnside

I love creating custom icons for every one of my own projects, as well as many client projects. But, given the tight timeline for this project, along with the fact that the work did not continue beyond the concepts, I used pre-made icons. I've used Nucleo icons (https://nucleoapp.com/?ref=207) for nearly 10 years as the starting point for projects where I'm not tasked with creating bespoke icons. They're drawn with incredible consistency, visual weight, and with 30,000 icons, there is rarely an instance where an icon doesn't exist. In this project, I used both 16px and 24px icons, for status indicators and action items, respectively. I matched the visual style of the icons to the rest of the UI, with translucent fill, stroke effects, and background blur.
