A warm welcome to Emblemicons 1.0.0

30 Aug 2020

Today, we are extremely excited to launch the first version of Emblemicons with our first set of 114 icons available for free use and download.

Our thoughts

First and foremost, we will talk about icons in brief. Icons are fundamental to the process of building a digital product. It helps in building the visual identity of the brand, company or product. Moreover, it plays a great role in adding functionality to the product.

We as a consumer of digital products, unnoticeably, interact with these icons every single day of our usage of these products. For example, we use the (left arrow) on almost all the digital products to go back to the previous page or screen while navigating a website or mobile app.

If you want to notice the icons you use so frequently, just pause for a minute on a webpage or mobile app screen and look for a few icons like (share), (search), (download), (more), (right arrow) and so on. You will be surprised and notice that you use these icons very frequently in almost every digital product you use to get your work done.

The motivation behind Emblemicons

Emblemicons was born with a simple idea to build an open-source library of most commonly and frequently used icons in digital products and share it with the world.

With our analysis, we were suprised to find that the process to find and download a basic commonly used icon from web involves too many steps and it was time-consuming.

Emblemicons was born as a weekend-project to make the most commonly and frequently used icons available for free. You can use these icons in product development, product design, software development, business presentations, academic projects, to name a few. It is completely free for personal and commercial use.

Free for use and download

We have covered a wide variety of file formats for different use scenarios. For your blog posts, social media, business presentations, academic projects and so on, you can download the PNG and JPG files. For using the icons in your software development, product design or product development projects, you can download the SVG file and style it with CSS as per your requirements. You can also copy the HTML code and use it directly in your projects.

In Emblemicons, you can do the following with every icon:

• You can download PNG and JPG images in 6 available sizes (12px, 18px, 24px, 36px, 48px, 72px).
• You can download SVG file and style it with CSS.
• You can download PDF file too.
• You can copy the HTML code and use in your projects directly.
