Tip: SVG stands for Scalable Vector Graphic, and they are the best way to use icons in the world of responsive design. Vector graphics use a fixed set of shapes, rather than bitmat graphics, which use pixels. This means that scaling a icon enlarges the shape of the design (keeping the quality good on desktop and mobile). |
FBC Knoxville uses the 4 colors from their logo to create identity around specific areas of their ministry. We created a welcome section on their homepage that uses icons, along with these colors, to bring clarity around their next steps.
Icons are not just a graphic way to make your site more interesting, they serve a real purpose. When icons are used to supplement text, they actually help site visitors comprehend content faster. Visual cues (used well) create a quick overview of content and make content easier to scan.

You can easily find quality sets of icons online, but finding ministry specific sets is still a little trickier. We value website design that attracts new visitors, builds engagement and creates lasting connections with the body of Christ. With that in mind, we set out to make a set of free icons that could be used alongside ministry content to help foster growth.
