You already know us as the home of the world’s most diverse and extensive collection of visuals, but exactly how far down the rabbit hole have you gone?
On this April Fools’ Day, we invite you to join us as we explore a veritable cabinet of curiosities: our wildest icons and photos from the four corners of nounproject.com. Buckle up for a new journey of discovery as we take a deep dive.
There’s a Drone for That
The A.I. revolution has already arrived, and is seeping into every corner of our lives. There’s no clearer evidence that robots will soon steal every last job from our fingertips (if they haven’t already) than Cougar Oswald’s collection There’s a Drone For That. At this point, it’s likely the least we can do to invest our life savings in drone technology.
Functional Fruit
Looking for a more lo-fi solution to your technological problems? Find it at the intersection of technology and fruit. You’ve heard of Banana Phone, but what about the burgeoning technologies bound to shape our lives in the 21st century – Flash Drive Orange, Pyrotechnic Pineapple and Granny Smith Lightbulb? Augment your next grocery run by picking up the new tools of the trade from the Functional Fruit collection.
The Truth is Out There
It would be irresponsible to use the global reach of our platform to peddle in conspiracy theories, but frankly, it would be just as irresponsible to not at least double-check that our planet isn’t being run by a secret society of lizard-people from space. We’ve made a point to fully declassify every icon collection documenting contact between humans and intelligent beings from other planets, because our users deserve nothing less than the truth. Never stop searching for answers in BaconTaco’s UFO and Aliens icon collection.
Stuff In Jars
We pride ourselves on not only housing the world’s most diverse collection, but perfectly preserving it in jars to last our users through the bitter winter. Anything you need in a jar, we’ve got you covered. Pickles? Put it in a jar. Pine trees? Jar. A house? If it can fit, we see no reason not to jar it. Old stuff, new stuff, red stuff, blue stuff: jars, jars, jars, and jars.
(Content warning: some users may find these images jarring)
Nature is Healing
Ah, the great outdoors. Our big blue marble, and all the creatures that inhabit it, astound us with wonder each and every day. Just as our earliest Paleolithic ancestors used cave paintings to capture the precious relationships between humans and their animal companions, so too should we document (and celebrate!) the sacred communion between modern man and the animal kingdom. All of life rests in a delicate balance in Gan Khoon Lay’s collection.
Eggstremely Timely Photos
Egg-flation is still at an all-time high, and Easter is just around the corner. What’s an egg afficcionado to do? Indulge in the ultimate modern luxury, no longer out of reach: eggs of all shapes, sizes, and on occasion, personalities. Be prepared to open your mind and eggsplore new possibilities with some of our alternative egg offerings: disco eggs, punk rock eggs, and eggs more genetically modified than you previously thought possible.
Life Under Cat-pitalism
Cats are only about two things: licking their own bottoms and protecting their own bottom lines. From the time the first pencil was slowly pushed off a desk, cats have been disruptors by their very nature. Invest in these Commerce Cats before the next recession hits if you want to put your business in good paws.
Curiouser and Curiouser
“How far does the Noun Project’s icon collection go?” asked Alice, “and would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?”
“That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,” replied the Cheshire Cat.
“I don’t much care where—” said Alice.
“Then it doesn’t matter which way you go,” said the Cat.
“––so long as I get somewhere,” Alice added as an explanation.
“Oh, you’re sure to do that,’ said the Cat, “if you only scroll long enough.”
Someone’s Got a Case of the Mondays
They told you they were looking for highly motivated self-starters who thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment. Then suddenly you were staring at Excel for 9 hours a day for the rest of your life. Embrace the rat race with Luis Prado’s icons from down at the old cubicle farm. Resistance is futile.
Unicorns are Real!
We’re reclaiming the term “unicorn” from the world of charismatic tech founders and giving it back to our inner children. What happened to just believing in magic? Chase down the last unicorn and never let it go when you find it.
