Designers can <a href="https://ucsf.box.com/s/4v85fxi16wvz1by7tpysyzw70wqbtijv">download a template to create icons</a> following the guidelines below.

Once you have scaled an icon consistently within this grid, set all line weights to 6 pixels.</p> </div> </div> <h2>Iconography Palette</h2> <div class="wysiwyg_twocols layout--50-50"> <div class="wysiwyg_twocols--first bg--transparent"> <p><img alt="Examples of the new iconography style showing a range of scientific and medical symbols on a navy background using white and blue" height="600" src="/sites/g/files/tkssra266/f/wysiwyg/UCSF_Iconography%20Palette_01_770x1385.jpg" style="float:left" width="334" /></p> </div> <div class="wysiwyg_twocols--second bg--transparent"> <p><img alt="Examples of the new iconography style showing a range of scientific and medical symbols on a white background using navy and blue" height="600" src="/sites/g/files/tkssra266/f/wysiwyg/UCSF_Iconography%20Palette_02_770x1385.jpg" style="float:right" width="334" /></p> </div> </div> <p>In some use cases, UCSF icons may appear in two colors to add contrast and dynamism to the palette. When applying two colors, always use UCSF Navy and UCSF Blue with White to reinforce our core brand colors. Two-color icons may be reversed out of UCSF Navy or appear on white. Using two-color icons will immediately elevate the proprietary look and feel of our icons.</p> <h2>Applications</h2> <div class="wysiwyg_twocols layout--50-50"> <div class="wysiwyg_twocols--first
