This month's highlights

✨ eBay published its icon system with detailed guidelines and it has been on our favorite list ever since.

🐻 Who said signage has to be formal and serious? We found a friendly and eye-catching example that redefines the purpose of signs.

🧪 A way to have fun with icons is to experiment with them. One of our favorite designers shows what can be done when we play with our constraints a little.

🔥 Check our Flex and Guidance icons used as brand iconography, museum signage, and more.
