Noun Project is building a global visual language that unites us — a language that allows quick and easy communication no matter who you are or where you are.
"Visual language has the power to shape, reinforce, and change perceptions. Today, 1 in 6 people worldwide live with a disability. Yet, despite growing awareness about the importance of accessibility and inclusive design, there is still a stark lack of visual resources dedicated to this space. In addition, many icons commonly used to depict accessible locations and experiences are often homogenous or uphold negative stereotypes."
"We believe the visual resources we have access to should reflect the rich diversity of the world we live in, so that everyone has the opportunity to share and use more inclusive content. [The Accessibility Icon Collection] has been donated to the public domain because we want these icons to be used far and wide, in classrooms, boardrooms, conference presentations, and beyond."
