Iconography
Icons are an important part of our brand. They help simplify complex ideas and make navigation easier. Their curved shapes and rounded corners reflect our brand’s unique style, inspired by our squircles.
Icons play an important role in Experian’s identity and are designed to complement the rest of the brand. These versatile elements can illustrate simple concepts such as ‘alert’, ‘email’, or ‘security’, help with navigation, and visually explain more complex ideas when used together.
Our primary icons are used as a way to designate sections or topics in print material as well as aiding core navigation within digital media such as online or within iOS or Android applications.
Our primary icon style has been based around our core brand identity — they are custom designed and have a truly ownable look. The bold, round curves pick-up on the squircle style as part of the Experian brand mark. We use our distinctive colour palette to allow for maximum flexibility.
Our icons are adaptable to different applications. Sometimes they need to stand out, while other times they serve as subtle reminders in the background.
We offer three styles to suit various needs:
We recommend choosing a single style for one piece of design. Mixing styles can be confusing and should be avoided.
Note: The squircles are not part of the artwork; they simply represent a generic background colour.
Our icons follow key principles for a consistent look and feel, using a 100 x 100 mm grid.
Principles:
Within digital applications, we have identitifed a need for a variance on our primary icon design to allow for smaller sizes as well as icons that can be used for social media channels.
There are therefore 3 sets of icons that are available to use site wide.
