Consolidating icons across design systems to increase consistency
Icon naming framework and taxonomy
Overtime, teams using the Meta design system had developed their own style of iconography, and with it, a wide variety of naming conventions. This lead to many duplicative icons, and additional work for our visual design team. We decided to consolidate all of the Meta-led icon libraries into one, and institute a new, literal naming structure with associated keywords to reduce duplication and make it easier for designers across the company to find the icon then needed quickly.
Key outcomes
- Applied to 6 existing icon libraries, eliminating 256 duplicates
- Reduced visual design team intake by 20%
