Icons are like eye shadow\u2026 sometimes less is more. Too many icons in a design project risks creating confusion, rather than building clarity. Another risk is trying to force icons to illustrate overly complex concepts. Icons are, by their nature, simple. A simple icon may not appropriately capture the meaning of a complex concept, while alternatively an overly complex icon defeats its own purpose.<\/p><p>PowerPoint vector icons work by simplifying a visual down to basics. However, there may be instances when sacrificing the nuance may work against you. For example, what is an appropriate icon to represent the age group 65+? Eyeglasses? A figure with a cane? Both icons place emphasis on disability and run the risk of offending seniors and perpetuating stereotypes. This is an example where the richer nuances offered by illustration or photography might better serve the communication goals.<\/p><cite>Holly Robinson, Presentation Designer, PepsiCo<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>PowerPoint vector icons are graphic symbols that refer to objects or actual actions and are used instead of words because they seem more intuitive. However, the icons are not always the best way to represent the data. They work well only when the relationship between the icon and its meaning is automatic and independent from learning. In other words, it is necessary that the icon evokes its meaning implicitly, without interpretation from the user. For this reason, the most functional icons are those that more concretely represent the object or the action to which they relate. If it uses the natural mapping between the action you can perform, and an icon to represent said action, you will get intuitive icons to minimize the user&#8217;s interpretative effort and not force him to learn anything new. An example of a natural mapping applied to the icons is the use of &#8220;trash.&#8221; In this case, the trash icon is used to indicate the action to delete a file; the metaphor fully performs its task and you understand intuitively what action it may make.<\/p><p>On the web, in e-commerce sites, a much-used metaphor is the &#8220;shopping basket&#8221;: it allows, usually, to immediately understand what is that icon, but to make metaphors work, their meaning must be highly shared.<\/p><cite>Erika Montoli, User Experience Designer, Accenture<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Using too many PowerPoint icons for presentations can work against you and become a distraction. Another risk is that the icon loses its meaning when used without a clear thought behind it. I work with presentations every day, and see abuse of icons daily. People need to think why they are using icons, and decide if it really adds any value to the communication of that message. Using icons just for the sake of it is a big mistake.<\/p><cite>Damon Nofar, Presentation Designer &amp; Consultant<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wrapping up<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Holly notices that icons are simple so they are powerful when they need to <strong>illustrate simple concepts<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, sometimes they can convey the wrong message since <strong>they recall stereotypes<\/strong> so they might not always be an alternative to <span id=\"urn:enhancement-535ed4f9\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\" itemid=\"https:\/\/data.wordlift.io\/wl01118\/entity\/image\">pictures<\/span> that are clearly richer in details. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Erika and Damon agrees on the fact that the <strong>icons need to be intuitive<\/strong> because the <span id=\"urn:enhancement-99dade8b\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\" itemid=\"https:\/\/data.wordlift.io\/wl01118\/entity\/audience_2\">audience<\/span> need to immediately understand it without risking any misinterpretation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">PowerPoint icons: How do icons and labels interact?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Icons and labels work together to reinforce the communication. The icon is the visual cue, and the label literally spells it out for them. I don\u2019t generally recommend using icons on their own, unless their meaning has been clearly established. A visual shortcut that confuses the viewer sabotages the design. The objective is always to help the audience understand, not make them work hard or guess. There are many creative and elegant ways to present an icon and its label. That\u2019s the fun part.<\/p><cite>Holly Robinson, Presentation Designer, PepsiCo<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Text labels are necessary when an understanding of an icon is not based on a previous experience, to communicate the meaning, reduce the ambiguity and improve the user experience. In terms of universal icons such as cart, search, and edit, labels are not necessary. An example of a necessary label icons with conflicting meanings, such as a star\/heart. These icons are used for favorite, add to wish list action or rate action. Not only does the precise functionality associated to these icons vary from site to site, but these two icons compete.<\/p><cite>Erika Montoli, User Experience Designer, Accenture<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>In my view, the purpose of using an icon is to visualize the text label and make it easier to grasp the message.

I\u2019m going to list some top-quality ones below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flaticon.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><u>www.flaticon.com<\/u><\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/thenounproject.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><u>www.thenounproject.com<\/u><\/a><\/li><li><a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/snip.ly\/ivcvf\" target=\"_blank\"><u>www.iconfinder.com<\/u><\/a><\/li><li><a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/snip.ly\/279ck\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/iconmonstr.com<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Feel free to <span id=\"urn:enhancement-96170900\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\" itemid=\"https:\/\/data.wordlift.io\/wl01118\/entity\/comment_computer_programming\">comment<\/span> and add relevant websites. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though you can quickly tap into a huge offer of <strong>great free icons online<\/strong>, I\u2019d suggest you to choose the website that you feel more comfortable to use and to go with it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By just focusing on one site, you\u2019ll be quicker every time you use it, as you\u2019ll get accustomed to it. This will boost your effectiveness when you need to source many free icons for <span id=\"urn:enhancement-a80c9410\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\" itemid=\"https:\/\/data.wordlift.io\/wl01118\/entity\/presentation\">presentations<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the above-mentioned reason, I chose <strong>Flaticon<\/strong>, which I find perfect for every use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you can\u2019t find an icon that represents your concept, it\u2019s often because you are not looking for the right thing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you scout for icons on these websites, you need to keep in mind that you are not using Google, so the results to your search will be exactly what you looked for, do not expect for related suggestions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>My suggestion is to think of the concept you are trying to visualize<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If a specific icon for that concept does not exist, jot down the word and brainstorm related alternatives that could be easier to associate to an icon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, last week I was working on a <span id=\"urn:enhancement-8f3dd1f4\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\" itemid=\"https:\/\/data.wordlift.io\/wl01118\/entity\/presentation\">presentation<\/span> in the medical field and I had to find a way to visualize <strong>Erythema<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you go to Flaticon and type Erythema, you won\u2019t find an appropriate icon for that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if you think at it as <strong>an inflammation<\/strong>, you could easily visualize it with a fire, which is what I did. Below, you\u2019ll find some examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1163\" height=\"318\" src=\"https:\/\/shop.mauriziolacava.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/BLOG_Icons_5.png\" alt=\"Presentation icon\" class=\"wp-image-17930\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shop.mauriziolacava.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/BLOG_Icons_5.png 1163w, https:\/\/shop.mauriziolacava.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/BLOG_Icons_5-300x82.png 300w, https:\/\/shop.mauriziolacava.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/BLOG_Icons_5-768x210.png 768w, https:\/\/shop.mauriziolacava.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/BLOG_Icons_5-1024x280.png 1024w, https:\/\/shop.mauriziolacava.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/BLOG_Icons_5-600x164.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1163px) 100vw, 1163px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">B&amp;W vs colored icons in PowerPoint<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>My first tip concerning <span id=\"urn:enhancement-62b96672\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-creative-work\" itemid=\"https:\/\/data.wordlift.io\/wl01118\/entity\/microsoft_powerpoint\">PowerPoint<\/span> icons for <span id=\"urn:enhancement-d064eb43\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\" itemid=\"https:\/\/data.wordlift.io\/wl01118\/entity\/presentation\">presentations<\/span> is to go to Flaticon where you will find hundreds of thousands of icons for every category you could ever imagine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first trick is to make a choice between black &amp; white icons and colored icons. In the following image, you\u2019ll see several icon packages:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"473\"

href=\"https:\/\/shop.mauriziolacava.com\/en\/presentation-delivery\/how-to-create-effective-hybrid-powerpoint-presentations\/\">PowerPoint presentations<\/a>, one of the very first rules to respect is to be consistent with the color palette across all the slides (learn everything about how to use colors in a presentation in the extract of <strong>Lean Presentation Design<\/strong> \u2013 <u><a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/mauriziolacava.com\/lean-presentation-design-book\/\" target=\"_blank\">read more<\/a><\/u>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes you build your color palette and you choose the colors, some others you must align with corporate brand guidelines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In any case, <strong>you need to respect a guideline and to carefully control the colors of the elements<\/strong> that you introduce in your slides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, I always recommend only using <strong>black and white<\/strong> PowerPoint icons for presentations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m not telling you to limit yourself to B&amp;W colors, but to apply to the mono-colored icons the one color that best fits with your color palette. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, instead of having multicolored icons with uncontrollable colors that create visual noise, you\u2019ll have all the icons consistent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember &#8220;<strong>less is more<\/strong>&#8220;, always.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1423\" height=\"245\"
