Icons
ACU has a library of icons chosen to best support our brand as well as to help communicate meaning.
Our icons serve purposes such as to aid wayfinding and as support to links and call-to-actions.
Usage
When using icons refer back to the design principles, in particular Confidence through clarity. The purpose of the icon suite and its usage is to add clarity and consistency through all ACU communication and aids in navigation. They should be used with a purpose rather than a decorative element.
