Vector Icons

Vector graphics are incredibly popular among designers, illustrators, architects, and graphic artists. These are computer images created using vector shapes, icons, and lines in a two-dimensional or three-dimensional space. Vector graphics contain sets of connected dots, lines, and curves, and are created based on algorithms and mathematical equations for the lines to connect the points.

One of the main features of vector graphics is their scalability. Vector graphics are scaled and easily edited without loss of quality. Vector images seem precise at any size, maintain sharpness and clarity. You can infinitely make them larger or smaller. It is a really great advantage. This allows vector graphics and vector icons to be displayed correctly on different devices, platforms, and in different applications. The increasing or decreasing of the image doesn't affect the file size, which is usually small and smaller than the size of raster files due to storing only a small number of points and the mathematical relationships between them. As a result, the use of vector graphics improves performance and increases the loading speed of the application or page.

Vector graphics are popular in the development of applications, web development, animation, computer-aided design, etc. They are part of a large variety of web-published or printed materials, magazines, billboards, presentations, promotional materials, etc. They help to make high-quality materials and develop logos that should always have a vector format to be correctly displayed on different platforms and in different sizes.

Vector icons are an integral part of vector graphics, vector illustrations, infographics, diagrams, presentations, and other materials. The use of vector icons has a lot of advantages. Vector icons for different areas have an unambiguous meaning, relevant design, and are universally accepted. They are attractive to viewers, engage their attention, are ornamental, and make your materials presentable and efficient. They easier perception of information and make it more easily remembered than text. Vector icons are also the main component of infographics and diagrams related to different areas, including public utilities supply, transportation asset management, and many others.
