Airbnb Icon System Design
Scope
Icon System
User Interface Design
Problem Space
Airbnb's original icons don’t meet the brand’s message of “friendly”. Also, amenity icons are important for travelers to look into when they book a place to stay. And in both Airbnb web and app, there's too many words.

2021.01 - 2021.03
Objective
Make Airbnb’s amenity icons more friendly by using brand color and more friendly shape. Keep them simple and useful.
Design Spec
I used the unique shape of Airbnb logo to design the icon set in order to make the icons more recognized and consistent.
Design Solution
Airbnb has a lot of amenity icons for each apartment/house, those icons send a message to travelers that if the place to stay has the amenities they want. With a more branded icon system, travelers will have a better experience when they choosing where to stay.
