“One of the beautiful things about Noun Project is that it’s truly useful for anyone who needs to communicate their ideas visually,” Sofya details.

Today, the range of visuals is vast – from collections of famous world landmarks to dogs – and purposefully so, as the Noun Project aims 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.”īuilt by a community of creators from over 130 countries, anyone in need of visually communicating an idea can download icons and photos from its collection for free with creator attribution, or subscribe to Noun Project for unlimited access to royalty-free icons, as well as editing features and apps.
Eventually, the idea grew: “the company actually began as a Kickstarter Campaign we launched in 2010 to create a free, open source library of symbols,” CEO and co-founder, Sofya Polyakov tells us. Quite brilliantly, Noun Project was initially inspired by sketches co-founder Edward Boatman used to draw in college of objects from his childhood. Since 2011 Noun Project has created a growing database of over 5 million (and counting!) symbols available to the public to utilise, from designers in studios to teachers in classrooms.
As Noun Project describes, symbols offer: “A silent language visible to the world.” From the creative industry to education, symbols are vital tools to instigate conversation, connection and learning. Visual culture relies on symbols to communicate it also relies on those who create them.
