Icon Style Overview
Shipcloud does not rely on a standard, off-the-shelf icon library. Instead, a set of custom icons has been developed to support specific pages and use cases across the product.
All icons follow a consistent set of core design principles to ensure visual coherence throughout the brand:
- Icons are always placed within a square container
- The visual construction of icons is preferably square or circular, although exceptions may occur when required by the concept
- Icons are designed as line icons only, without filled shapes or solid color areas
- The style is minimal, clear, and functional, prioritizing readability and consistency
This approach ensures that all icons feel like part of one unified system, even when used across different contexts.

Color Usage and Backgrounds
Icons themselves must always be rendered in a single color. The use of multiple colors within one icon is not permitted, as this would break visual consistency.
It is allowed to place icons on a colored background. In these cases:
- Icons are typically displayed in white on a colored background
- The background must use one of the brand gradients
- Solid background colors are not allowed
The green gradient is the preferred and default option. However, other gradients from the brand system may be used when appropriate.
The container that holds the icon follows these specifications:
- At a container size of 80 px, the background has a corner radius of 10 px
- This rounded rectangle is the standard presentation
- In specific design applications where this shape does not fit, the container may be adapted to a fully circular shape, as long as consistency is maintained within the layout
Size and Technical Specifications
To ensure clarity and legibility, icons must adhere to the following size and stroke guidelines:
- Default container size: 80 px
- Stroke width: 2 px
- Stroke style: rounded line endings (round caps)
- Minimum container size: 40 px
- Stroke width: 1 px
Scaling icons below 40 px is not permitted, as this will negatively impact readability and visual quality.
All icons should be designed and scaled proportionally within their container to maintain consistent spacing and optical balance.
