Brand iconography
The Icon Library.
Every icon on this site is built from pieces of the LightFeather logo itself, each one given a purpose.
These icons are more than decoration. They mirror how we work. We start by pulling out what matters in each engagement, the real mission needs and the value beneath them, and we shape designs and features specific to each customer and the mission they carry. Every piece of data is part of a larger whole, and every piece of the logo becomes a part of what we deliver, each one adding meaning until the bigger picture comes into focus. You'll find these glyphs across our site and throughout our presentations, each paired with the idea it represents, so that what we present means more. Below is the legend: all 52 glyphs, named, defined, and mapped to where they appear.
