Iconography
Icons should add clarity or affordance to interface elements and should not be used purely decoratively.
They are generally simple line icons drawn with a 2px stroke, and should fit inside a 24px container.
New icons introduced should be visually consistent with the set pictured here.
Icons add visual noise to designs and should be used sparingly.

Adding new icons
Adding new icons to the SVG sprite is a manual process.
- Create (or copy-paste) your new icon on a 24px × 24px artboard in Illustrator
- Export as an SVG
- Copy into https://jakearchibald.github.io/svgomg/
- Adjust the options to best reduce the file size
- Export from SVGOMG as code
- Paste into Franklin's /src/static/svg/sprite.svg
- Convert the <svg> tag into a <symbol>
- Add an id attribute
- Generally ensure your <symbol> looks the same as existing ones
Please remember to add your icon to this page!
