The use of icons in web design is pretty popular these days, although it’s certainly not a new trend. From social media icons to navigation buttons and service categories, they span a wide range of uses and functions. We LOVE this trend, as it’s a much more visual way to display information and helps users navigate through a site easier. We collected a few great sites that are using icons in different ways, to help guide users, inform people more fully, and in general delight their audience with great details in their design. Click each site below to see the full design. Enjoy!
