Icons and visual identity

Material Symbols Rounded communicates actions; five project identities keep context consistent across surfaces.

Icon implementation

MaterialIcon renders a decorative span using material-symbols-rounded. Its variation settings are FILL 0 or 1, weight 500, grade 0, and optical size 24. Icons are aria-hidden, so the surrounding interactive element must supply a meaningful name.

Usage rules

  • Use a visible text label for unfamiliar actions. An icon alone is not enough to establish meaning.
  • Keep icon names stable across repeated controls. Distinguish navigation from a task completion action through labels and placement.
  • Use filled icons to reinforce a selected state only when the parent already communicates selection.
  • Project appearance uses one of teal, blue, plum, sand, or coral plus a chosen icon. Retain the title and space label when applying this identity.
  • Do not imply that a project color is a priority, health, or status indicator unless an explicit product rule assigns that meaning.
