Icon Design in Gloucester
Custom icon sets for Gloucester businesses whose product or website needs symbols that mix badly when taken from three free libraries. Icons are unforgiving at small sizes — line weights, corner treatment and optical balance all have to be consistent or the set looks accidental.
Why this comes up
The problem
Icons get taken from wherever is convenient, so a page mixes three line weights and two visual styles. Individually each looks fine; together they read as assembled rather than designed.
What you get
What we deliver
- A defined grid, line weight and corner treatment applied across the whole set
- Optical adjustment per icon, since mathematically identical icons look uneven
- Drawn at the size they will be used, not scaled down from large artwork
- SVG output optimised, with the ability to inherit colour from CSS
- Accessible naming and labelling guidance, since an icon alone is not a label
- Source files and rules, so new icons added later match the existing family

Icon Design in Gloucester — common questions
- Why not use a free icon library?
- For most websites that is entirely sensible, and we will say so. Custom sets earn their cost when you need concepts no library covers, or when your product's interface is dense enough that a mismatched set becomes visibly untidy.
- Do icons need text labels?
- Almost always. Very few icons are universally understood beyond a handful — a magnifying glass, a printer. Icon-only interfaces test poorly and create accessibility problems, so labels are the default and icon-only is the exception.
- Why do icons need optical adjustment?
- Because the eye does not measure. A circle drawn to the same bounding box as a square looks smaller, so it is drawn slightly larger to appear equal. A set built purely to a grid looks subtly wrong without anyone identifying why.
- What format do we get?
- Optimised SVG that inherits colour from your stylesheet, so one file works in light and dark themes. Icon fonts are a legacy approach with accessibility drawbacks and we would steer away from them.
- Do you work with businesses across Gloucestershire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout South West, including Gloucester and the surrounding Gloucestershire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Gloucester businesses do you usually work with?
- Aerospace and manufacturing supply chain systems, with security and accreditation questions arriving in the first meeting. Beyond that we work across Aerospace, Manufacturing, Financial Services, Logistics and Cyber Security.
- Do you cover the areas around Gloucester?
- Yes — we work throughout South West, including Bristol, Worcester, Bath. Gloucester is an urban area of roughly 150,000+, and we take on work across the wider Gloucestershire region rather than the city boundary alone.
