Icons Library

Lex Icons is an extensive, open-source collection of icons that help explain key terms and principles that define global food systems. You can view a selection of our icons here and on The Noun Project, the world’s largest repository for open-source icons.

All Lex Icons designers own their work but have granted the royalty-free, perpetual, non-exclusive, worldwide right of usage of their work to thelexicon.org under a Creative Commons 4.0 license. Licensees (you) are allowed to share (copy and redistribute Lex Icons in any medium or format) or adapt (remix, transform, and build upon the material for any purpose, even commercially). The licensor (us) cannot revoke these freedoms as long as the licensee follows these license terms.

Attribution: You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to this web page, and indicate if any changes have been made to these Lex Icons. You may do so in any reasonable manner, but not in any way that suggests the licensor endorses you or your use.

Note: You may not apply legal terms or technological measures that legally restrict others from doing anything this license permits.

Finally, these Lex Icons are cool, but the designers of each icon reserve the merchandising rights for their work. This means that merchandise that use these Lex Icons as designs (as opposed to describing some other product), must be negotiated with the icons’ designers. For example, t-shirts, hats, clothing, and other merchandise that only feature a Lex Icon, itself, cannot be sold without permission from the designers.

That’s it! If you have any additional questions, feel free to reach out the Lex Icons team here.

Our panel of international experts explores how our global food systems have become overreliant on only three crops, and what we can do about it.

Born from an unprecedented global collaboration between hundreds of designers and agrifood system experts, Lex Icons contains visual representations of foundational terms and concepts in key thematic areas, from nutrition to food security, food waste to regenerative agriculture. This open-source collection is made freely available as a Public Domain resource for use by international NGOs, food companies large and small, as well as government agencies. Learn more here.
