What are icons and iconography?

Iconography is the use of symbols or images to quickly convey an idea or message, for example, a restroom (disabled/parents room), dietary recommendations (gluten-free, vegan or no preservatives) or care instructions(do not tumble dry, cold hand wash, warm iron). 

Why are icons important?

Icons are vitally important for many sectors of public life and communication, for example, wayfindinguser manuals and presentations. Make sure when designing any packaging or print materials to include comprehensive iconography for your audience.

What are the best benefits of using icons?
