Discovering Elegance and Clarity: The Picons Thin Icon Collection

In the ever-evolving world of digital design, icons have emerged as essential components that enhance the user experience and add visual appeal to various interfaces. Finding the perfect balance between aesthetics and functionality can be a challenging task for designers. Fortunately, Picons, offers an exceptional solution with its Thin Icon Collection.

Embracing Minimalism

Minimalism is a design philosophy that has gained immense popularity due to its clean, uncluttered and ultra-consistent approach. The Thin icon collection perfectly embodies this philosophy with its sleek and refined icons. By removing unnecessary details, these icons communicate concepts with utmost clarity, making them ideal for modern interfaces where simplicity is key.

The icons strike the perfect balance between visual appeal and functionality. These icons not only look elegant but also serve their purpose effectively, allowing users to intuitively understand their meaning and purpose.

A Comprehensive Library

Picons’ Thin Icon Collection offers an extensive library of icons that cover a wide range of categories. From business and technology to lifestyle and travel, designers can find suitable icons for virtually any design project. The collection ensures that designers have access to versatile, high-quality icons that seamlessly integrate into various digital products, including websites, web apps, and mobile apps.

Scalable Vector Icons

One of the standout features of the Picons.me icons in general is that each icon is available as a scalable vector graphic (SVG). Scalable vector icons ensure that designers can use them across your personal graphic software (Figma, Photoshop, Illustrator, Sketch…) and various screen resolutions without losing image quality. This flexibility is crucial in responsive design, where icons need to adapt to different devices and sizes.

Additionally, the vector format enables designers to customize icons to match their project’s color scheme and design language, ensuring a harmonious and consistent visual experience.

Perfect for Modern UI/UX Design

User interfaces today demand a delicate blend of aesthetics and functionality. The Picons.me icons are tailor-made for modern UI/UX design, offering icons that resonate with contemporary design trends. Their understated elegance and precision make them a preferred choice for designers seeking a minimalist, yet impactful, visual language.

The Picons Thin Icon Collection stands as a testament to the power of simplicity in design. With its minimalist approach, comprehensive library, and vector scalability, these icons elevate design projects to new heights of elegance and clarity. Picons.me continues to be a reliable resource for designers seeking high-quality icons that strike the perfect balance between aesthetics and functionality.

How to use vector icons in Photoshop as vector shapes?

Have all the icons at your fingertips

For those unfamiliar with the custom shape toolbar in Adobe Photoshop, it allows you to insert a vectorized shape with just a click. And it’s not just fast, it’s also a convenient way to have an overview of your icons.

All our Picons.me iconsets already come with the necessary Custom Shape files (.csh). Personally, I couldn’t live without them.

How to import the Picons into Photoshop’s toolbar?

It’s super easy.

  • In Adobe Photoshop open “Edit” > “Presets” > “Preset Manager…” from the top menu
Photoshop preset manager
  • When the Preset manager pops up, choose “Custom Shapes” from the dropdown on the top
  • Click on “Load” and browse for the .CSH file, which came with your Picons.me iconset, select it and then click “OK”.
  • You can import multiple CSH files. We suggest you import all your Picons.me iconsets.

That’s it.

Now, to insert an icon, use the “Custom Shape tool” (see screenshot).

custom_shape_tool

Choose your desired icon (dropdown at the top bar) and draw it as an ordinary shape.

Toolbar

You can color it, resize, transform, apply a stroke, … whatever you like. The icon will be a vector shape object, so you won’t see any quality loss when resizing.

Have a productive time!
