Sharing is a common action, especially on mobile devices. While Android and iOS have their own platform-specific icons, for KaiOS there was a need for a generic "share" icon which was not available among our icons.
The proposed icon is included below:
Original | SVGO and manually optimized |
A right-to-left version should be generated by mirroring the icon.
Design details
The arrow pointing forward (right or left depending on language direction) has been a common shape used for sharing in many popular web products.
Larger size | on the icon grid |
---|---|
SVGO & manually optimized
Possible overlap
A different arrow style is used to distinguish it from other arrow-based icons in our repo. The "redo" icon is the closest but we consider it to be rare for both to share the same context.
