Introducing Staticons
Blog post from Statsig
In a recent update, Statsig unveiled a refreshed set of icons in their product UI, transitioning from the Google Material Icon Library to their own Staticons, which are designed to align with their brand's recent evolution. The new icons are outlined instead of filled and have standardized sizes of 16x16, 20x20, and 24x24 for various UI elements, with a reduced stroke width to improve visual harmony with typography. While exploring various design directions, they ultimately chose a simple style that maintains personality at small scales, incorporating roundness for approachability and playful elements in certain contexts. The redesign addresses the previously inconsistent icon sizing by enforcing a more compact and visually aligned system, with a 2px padding rule for larger icons, and allows 16px icons to extend closer to the edges for clarity. Utilizing Figma as their design tool, Statsig ensures transparency and scalability by maintaining editable vectors and flattened versions of the icons, promising ongoing refinements to enhance simplicity and usability in their product.
