Icon System: Citrix
While part of the Citrix design team, I identified a need to create a branded icon style for networking diagrams. Previously, consultants would grab various clip art to describe IT infrastructure. To create a cohesive visual experience and extend the Citrix brand, I created this icon library and distributed it for use, with vector assets for desigers, as well as SVGs in PowerPoint for use in the field by non-designers.
These are some examples of the individual icons shown at three different scales and some standardized design elements that were developed.

The comparison below compares an example of a diagram in use before and after the icon style was developed. Before examples are on the left, redesigned examples are on the right.
