Best Practices

Number of Icons

  • Ideal: 3-5 icons
  • Minimum: 2 icons (fewer lacks impact)
  • Maximum: 7 icons (more creates clutter)

Icon Sizing

  • Small: Best for 5+ icons or secondary placements
  • Medium: Standard size, works well for 3-4 icons
  • Large: Use for 2-3 prominent badges only

Icon Design

  • Use consistent visual style across all icons
  • Ensure icons are recognizable at small sizes
  • Use high-resolution images (2x resolution for retina)
  • Transparent backgrounds work best
  • Square or slightly rectangular aspect ratios

Alignment

  • Center: Most common, creates balanced look
  • Left: Works well in sidebar or with left-aligned content
  • Right: Use when aligning with right-side elements

File Specifications

  • Format: PNG with transparency preferred
  • Dimensions: 100-200px square recommended
  • File size: Keep under 50KB each
  • Resolution: 2x for retina displays
