Icon Format Descriptions
Step OneDetermine why you need to download HLO icons and where you want them to live (e.g. web, print).
Step TwoOnce you've decided where your icons will live, see which file format will be best for you:
- JPG — Smallest file size, lowest resolution, white background, not scalable. Consider using this file format for use in PowerPoint presentations and resource lists, although not suitable for printing.
- PNG — Bigger file size than JPG, higher resolution, with transparent background, not scalable. Consider using this file format for assignments, rubrics, and lesson plans where a transparent background is needed, and higher resolution is desired.
- SVG — Vector-based, scalable, most suitable for web. Consider using this file format for creating scalable graphics in critical paths and lesson plans, ensuring clarity at any size.
- EPS — Vector file, scalable, vector software needed to open files, best suitable for all printing. Consider using this file format for high-quality printed materials such as posters, event announcements, and detailed diagrams in rubrics and lesson plans.
- GIF — Small file size, supports animation, limited color palette, not scalable. Consider using this file format for simple animations, banners, and visual aids in digital presentations or online materials where movement can enhance engagement. While not ideal for high-resolution images or print materials, GIFs are excellent for adding visual interest in contexts like social media, interactive lesson plans, or instructional guides where animation can clarify concepts or draw attention.
Download your HLO icons in the file format that makes sense for your situation.
Step Four (Optional)To make your icons accessible, download the file from the link below containing the alternative text (Alt Text) for each corresponding HLO icon file format.
Alternative texts are available for the coloured icons, the black and white icons, and the GIFs icons.
Depending on the software platform that you use, alternative texts can be added on the icons using the accessibility feature of that platform.
The file formats listed (e.g., Collaboration.png) are clickable links.
