Coronavirus icons

MartinLeBlanc

Hi everyone

I'm sure you are all aware of the coronavirus given the news coverage. I just want to show what we can see in users behavior:

I've exported the search terms related to "corona" to a Google Sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BshvgSyT5PmX7gTRJ_9WzVRMZMeOr7QQcYXpUQ_5rqw/edit?usp=sharing

The last thing, we've been putting together a landing page with free icons to help people make posters, websites etc. that encourage good hygiene and awareness: https://www.iconfinder.com/p/coronavirus-awareness-icons Feel free to share it.

It would also mean a lot if you could upvote this project on Product Hunt:

laurareen

interesting!

MartinLeBlanc

laurareen Can you make some icons that can be used for signage and awareness? The WHO has some instructions (with bad icons), but can serve as inspiration.

https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/advice-for-public

We'll make sure to feature them on our landing page (currently getting 20k daily views). The icons will be offered for free.

laurareen

MartinLeBlanc yes, i will start today. Pandemia status it is too much serious.
Will upload right after i have some, and than fill the same pack.

(no need of featuring in such situation)

MartinLeBlanc

laurareen Thanks 🙏

laurareen

uploading those, and proceeding with more deep advices from WHO on kind, smart and safe section. You are welcomed to add list

MartinLeBlanc

laurareen Great icons. Very clear and useful.

MartinLeBlanc

laurareen Do you have the graphics in vector format. Btw. there's a small mistake - "high temperature" is mentioned twice. I guess the second one is "Low energy".

laurareen

MartinLeBlanc yes, already corrected this. And trying to organize as infographics, and include few pages, so it will be easier to grab icons and blocks from file.
Right now i have this, and going to grow it - can be shared as PDF (vector editable).
How can i share PDF?

MartinLeBlanc

laurareen If you send the PDF and whatever files you have to martin@iconfinder.com, I'll talk to Ieva about it and see how we can promote it.

MartinLeBlanc

laurareen And of course submit any icons you have. If you can choose the https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ format when uploading, it will be easier.

MartinLeBlanc done

laurareen Thanks for submitting these icons, Laura! ❤️ Across all the coronavirus sets we have on the site, we are missing one thing - diversity of characters. All the sets that have a skin tone are white. Would you be able to add more icons with different skin tones and hairstyles, to make them more inclusive?

laurareen

ievaa i was thinking about diversity, but it was more essential to show in symptoms section - that same person have all of them, so this is not measlieading information (haven't even made male vs female).
Do not have full capacity right now to move on this icons, and prioritizing essential only, but after i cover section of Personal hygiee, myths, smart and kind, i was thinking to do variations for diversity

update (already uploaded):

laurareen

we already have country in soft full quarantine from today!
all restaurants and public places closed, except food store, everybody adviced not to go outside without need. Can be more hard restriction later next week.

MartinLeBlanc

laurareen Yeah, it's a sad situation. Stay safe. And thank you for your work with the coronavirus icons. We'll be updating the landing page tomorrow.

laurareen

MartinLeBlanc Stay safe!
