As part of a complete redesign of The Guardian’s digital channels, Territory were approached to help define and craft a consolidated system of icons for use in the new app and online services.
Based on the inherent characteristics of Guardian Egyptian (a typeface originally created by Christian Schwartz and Paul Barnes) an initial set of 75 icons have been developed to complement the typeface and communicate the same design language.
Special care has been taken to make sure the icons retain a level of fidelity when used at small sizes using a defined pixel grid as the bases for construction template. This ensures legibility on-screen and consistency throughout.
Working in collaboration with Alex Breuer, Creative Director of The Guardian, Territory’s icon guidelines are now being rolled out across the website and mobile apps.
