Education icon packs

Choosing education icons

Education icons are used on learning platforms, school websites, course pages and classroom materials. They need to work for very different audiences, from young children to university students and teachers.

Courses and learning platforms

Lessons, quizzes, assignments, progress and certificates appear on every course page. Use a line or solid pack for navigation and status, and show progress with both an icon and a number, such as "3 of 8 lessons".

Subjects

Subject tiles for math, science, languages, history, art and music benefit from flat or line color icons, because color helps learners find their subject quickly. Use one pack so every subject has the same level of detail.

Worksheets and slides

Teachers often print. Download icons as SVG for crisp printing, or as a large PNG for slide tools, and choose simple shapes that still read in black and white on a school printer.

Progress and rewards

Badges, stars and certificates keep learners motivated. Make reward icons more colorful than navigation icons so achievements stand out, and use the same design for every level of a badge, changing only the color or the number.

Young learners

For younger children, choose friendly, colorful artwork with simple shapes and large touch targets, and pair icons with words to support early reading.

• Choose a color for each subject and keep it the same across the platform.
