Iconography
Iconography plays a very important role in Leviy. As some users cannot speak or read one of our provided languages the correct use of icons can help them understand and complete certain actions within our application.
Guidelines
Match to meaning
When choosing an icon to signify a certain action or piece of content, make sure the icon represents the purpose. Keep the context of the user that has to complete the specific action in mind. Also take into account there might be some differences between countries where our users are located.
Same purpose = Same icon
When searching for appropriate icons to complete a design, first check the icon library to see if there is an icon that can be reused before of introducing a new one. If an icon is reused, make sure it represents the same purpose.
Pair icons with text
The main purpose of icons is to help clarify content and improve scannability of the user interface. Unless its an universally understood action, such as settings, icons should be paired with text or labels.
Icons
Our icon package consists of slightly rounded, minimal icons. With their symmetrical and consistent look, they ensure readability and clarity. Icons are displayed as 24 x 24 dp. Read more about grid and keyline shapes guidelines here.
