Signs with pictograms (icons) are a tried and tested means of guiding visitors. The majority of visitors are familiar with the icons with the usual messages on correct behavior in nature and their simplicity and clarity make them very popular, even with an international audience.
The use of icons for nature conservation-compliant activity guidance is of great importance not only in the real world, but also in the digital world.
Behind every rule we digitize are one or more meaningful icons.
The icon set with 64 pairs of icons was developed by Digitize the Planet and can be used to represent any situation, no matter how complicated.
We use these icons to display the rules entered in our Digitize platform.
We recommend using our icon set for displaying the rules in the connected outdoor platforms, map applications and navigation services in order to achieve a high recognition effect. Of course, the icons can also be used in the print sector for signs and maps.
The icons can be downloaded and used free of charge. We recommend the following link for attribution:

We always endeavor to keep our icon set as up-to-date as possible and to expand it accordingly as new developments arise. This could be, for example, new outdoor sports or technical developments.
Please contact us if certain icons are missing for your area of application.
