Icon Design

The Icon Design category is home to freelancers with a background in art and graphic design, social media, brand, UI/UX and website design and many other visual arts professionals. They’re able to create icons in different styles - from flat and line art, to solid, 3D, cartoon or animated characters. You can use your icons for your website, app, social media profiles and gaming platforms, presentations, e-learning and many other scenarios depending on your needs.

In order to find the best icon designer for your project, a good starting point is to be clear on your own requirements, then invest time to search through the category and read the ‘About’ and ‘Description’ sections for those freelancers that you have shortlisted. Most of them have showcased part of their portfolio, so you’ll be able to compare. Always contact the professional before ordering to ensure availability and agree on pricing and deadlines.

You can expect your delivery to include a pre-agreed number of icons depending on the package that you’ve selected. Most designers will provide you with a JPG or PNG format and in addition a vector source file such as AI, PSD, CDR etc. depending on what you’ve agreed. A number of revisions will be included in the package, so it’s good to check in advance what will constitute a revision (minor changes) and what will be considered a new order.

Ask the seller before accepting the offer or submitting an order, what type of files will be included in the final delivery. In order for you to be able to make changes such as color, size and other minor amendments and adjustments to the icons, you need to be provided with a vector file like EPS, CDR, AI, etc. or with the project source files. You can then open it in Illustrator, Photoshop or another editing software.

Every freelancer has a different approach, however you can expect the process to include some or all of these steps. First of all, the professional needs to gather your requirements and understand your needs, which is usually done prior to placing the order. Once you agree, most freelancers will do some research and come up with some rough idea sketches for your approval. After agreeing, they’ll proceed to production and delivery.
