Illustrator Dog Breed Icon System
A self-initiated icon system exploring how complex, distinctive subjects can be translated into simple, recognizable forms.
Design Objective
Role: Icon Design, Visual Systems
Create a cohesive icon system that represents a certain set of dog breeds while maintaining consistency, clarity, and recognizability across the set.
Solution
The final solution is a system-driven icon set built on a consistent grid, stroke weight, and geometric structure. Rather than designing icons individually, a shared visual system guided the creation of each, ensuring visual cohesion across the icon set.
This approach allowed the icons to function seamlessly as part of a unified set, maintaining legibility and balance at multiple sizes. When standing alone, each icon still has distinct characteristics that visually represent the breed.
