Icons support visual communication and help users quickly identify and understand information. They are used to highlight topics, functions, or key information and complement the content without replacing written text.
All icons follow a consistent visual style with clear shapes, uniform stroke weights, and a reduced level of detail. Size, alignment, and spacing must remain consistent throughout each document.
By default, all icons are displayed in the defined PreAnalytiX grey. For topic-specific content, icons may be coloured using the corresponding corporate colours to reinforce visual categorisation. Additional effects, gradients, distortions, or stylistic modifications are not permitted.
Icons are used exclusively as supporting graphic elements and must not be altered in shape, stroke weight, or proportions.
The icon style is based on the corporate illustration style, ensuring that icons, illustrations, and graphic elements form a coherent and consistent visual language across all PreAnalytiX communications.
Icons facilitate language-independent communication, enabling information to be understood quickly and intuitively. Their consistent design and use of corporate colours ensure they are recognisable in all contexts. They can represent functions, categories, processes or services, supporting clear visual communication throughout the brand.
