Iconography
- Two sets of icons have been created in conjunction with the 1% for the Planet globe motif: globe icons that represent our six issue areas and general smiley globe icons.
- Each set serves to activate its accompanying image in different ways. These icons can accompany graphics as well as photography. In the instances of photography, icons may function as a smiley face replacement for someone’s face (sparingly) or (more common) may be placed on the photo to accompany it.
- We recommend providing a caption or explanatory text which dives deeper into the photo contents or specific issue area(s).
