Welcome to my yearly icon roundup! Here are my 7 favorite sets from 2024, followed by happenings in the icon world.

Roundups from 2023 and 2022.

Animal icons for RSPCA by Ross Norton

A phenomenal piece of a phenomenal rebrand. These animals are lovable, recognizable, a bit regal, and harmonious with the octagon and type. Drawn by Ross Norton from Jones Knowles Ritchie.

Micro Bold icons for Nucleo by Sebastiano Guerriero

I’ve been loving Sebastiano’s shares this year. Rounded styles can get blobby and illegible, but Sebastiano achieves a well-balanced set with distinctive glyphs for Nucleo Micro Bold.
