Vector Icons in PowerPoint Presentations

Icons are here to stay. Icon use has been on the rise not just in PowerPoint presentations, but also on websites, mobile apps, flyers, leaflets, etc. If you don’t believe me, then let me illustrate the difference between a slide without icons and a slide that uses icons. Check out the two images below and decide which of these two slides look better:

Slide 1 (no icons):

Slide 2 (with icons):

Slide 2 clearly looks better, and the icons used are a major reason why.

Other Reasons to Use Icons:

• Icons help you save a lot of time creating slides
• Icons are easily understood by your audience
• Icons make your slides look ‘cleaner’
• Icons and graphics are more memorable than plain text
