Gradations of mistakes occurrence among designers. Most often, "popular" mistakes occur due to carelessness when checking the set before sending it to the art director.

Aesthetic Aspects

01. Quality standards not reached

🔴

Why is this happening?

The designer tried to make a creative concept of the icon, but in the understanding of Flaticon, the concept of the icon became different from what the designer was trying to convey. Everything in the world is subjective and what the creator understands may not be understood by the people, but we are not talking about creativity, but about the benefits of people and business.

How to fix it?

Redesign the icon for a clearer concept

02. Limited commercial value

🔵

Why is this happening?

First of all, Flaticon is positioned as a company that provides a wide range of icons, and its main task is to provide its user with quality icons, as well as to profit from the sale of these icons. Therefore, some icons may be rejected due to limited commercial value. In short, no one is going to buy a bad product. Yes, this is a bad icon!

How to fix it?

Follow the rules and guidelines for icon design

03. Lack of homogeneity

🟡

Why is this happening?

Different stroke weight
Wrong location of gap (when nobody can't say for sure what the icon is this)
Typography does not match the style (if possible, it is better not to use typography)
Deviation from the color palette style

How to fix it?

Be attentive, follow guide the creation of icons and check the icon
