Noun Project launched in 2011 to build a global visual language that unites the world — a language that allows quick and easy communication no matter who you are or where you are. Since then, our community of creators has contributed nearly 3 million icons that are used and loved by millions of people.
As a leader in visual communication, we believe that visual language has the power to shape, reinforce and change perceptions. We’ve built an inclusive online community where creators can express themselves, find inspiration, and support each other’s growth through conscientious design.
We believe broad perspectives are fundamental to creating the most unique and relevant collection of the world’s visual language, and that diverse experiences are the key to innovation, collaboration, and awareness of the globalized context we live in. The following Community Guidelines are designed to help you understand what it means to be a member of the Noun Project Creator Community:
