[Meta] Create Uniquely 'GitLab' Icons

Uniquely GitLab

One of our big UX goals is to define and distinguish our unique personality.

  • When you look at any screen, you should know immediately that it is GitLab
  • Our personality is strong and consistent across product and marketing experiences

Iconography is a powerful visual cue to the user and should reflect our particular sense of style.

Proposal

Create our own set of SVG icons that fit in with our branding, illustrative style, and independent spirit.

This is a large undertaking so we will need to determine the best way to roll this out in iterative steps (if possible).
