Over the last 6 years, the Noun Project community has built one of the biggest repositories of visual language in the world. And visual language matters, especially in times like these. Visuals can communicate an idea in a blink of an eye. They are memorable and often universal–and thus they can become iconic representations of nuanced ideas and movements. At Noun Project, we believe in using the power of visual language to create a positive impact in the world. We launched Icons For Change to provide free signs to use for protests, community gatherings, even personal reminders. The themes of the posters are focused on the ideals and principles that make America truly great, instead of the Us vs. Them rhetoric that has become all too prevalent.
