I designed a set of icons for XVELA, a company that creates cloud-based collaborative tools for the maritime shipping industry.

A collection of XVELA icons arranged in a pile over a blue background.

An assortment of XVELA icons over a blue-toned photo of a port.

XVELA needed custom icons to illustrate complex shipping and software processes and add more personality to the brand.

A pineapple.
An icon of a sailor’s hat.
A pair of binoculars.
An icon of a ship’s steering wheel.
A computer displaying the icons alongside value propositions on XVELA’s website.
The top half of an iPhone displaying XVELA’s Twitter profile, where the icons are used as the cover image.

The linear style of the icons evokes style of XVELA’s logotype and fits seamlessly within their existing identity.

Three rows of XVELA icons, connected by lines, over a blue and orange-toned photo of a container ship at sea.

The icons represent XVELA’s values of collaboration, security, and organization, as well as material objects relevant to maritime shipping—think ships, ports, weather, and commodities.

Icons depicting a badge, a lightbulb, the sun behind a cloud, connected puzzle pieces, a compass, a calendar, a buoy, and a globe on alternating blue and orange backgrounds.
