Create a Unified Iconography System for Marketing & Tooling #119
Description
Background
In the past, there was an effort to audit and categorize icons used across AsyncAPI’s ecosystem. That issue is now outdated and has been closed in favor of this clearer, more scoped task aligned with the current design system and brand.
This task builds on the existing AsyncAPI design system by creating a unified icon set for use across marketing (e.g., website, docs, social graphics) and tooling (e.g., product UIs, dev tools).
Problem
Currently, icons used across our brand ecosystem are inconsistent, scattered across different files, and not aligned with our new design system. Some are legacy, some are borrowed from libraries, and others are ad hoc creations with different visual styles (stroke weights, shapes, color use).
This leads to:
- Brand inconsistency across websites, docs, and UI
- Inefficiencies for contributors needing icons
- Visual clutter or confusion
Why This Is Needed
Icons are essential building blocks of both our marketing and product design. A unified, reusable icon system will:
- Reinforce visual consistency and brand identity
- Reduce design debt and duplicated work
- Improve usability and accessibility in our tooling
- Make it easier for contributors to use the correct icons
Deliverables
- Audit existing icons across marketing and tooling
- Define categories and visual style rules
- Design a core icon set that fits the AsyncAPI brand
- Document usage and contribution process
- Organize assets in Figma and optionally in SVG format
