Iconography

Icons can be used to signpost, graphically represent or aid in the explanation of messaging and concepts. We use icons to enhance statistics, supplement messaging and highlight calls to action in print and online.

Illustrative icons

Illustrative icons can be used to visually highlight key concepts in presentations, on the web and in other applications.

Our approved icon set is currently in development. If you require support in the meantime, please contact Marketing and Communications.

Social and CTA icons

To ensure consistency across our communications, we have created a set of social media and call to action icons to use in print and online. The sets are available in our primary colour palette.

Any icons used in close proximity to one another should be rendered in the same colour, stroke width, style and you should be mindful of the background colour they are being used on. When used on a coloured background, icons should generally be rendered in white for maximum contrast.
