56 Free Arrow Symbols & Icons

Wednesday, May 21st, 2008

Professional edited free vector arrow symbols &
icons for personal and/or commercial usage. This collection of arrow symbols can
help you in your art & design. Arrows are often used
in Signage and Wayfinding design to guide a visitor in the right direction. All
56 arrows are drawn by Sander Baumann with Adobe Illustrator and can be used in
many different ways.

Preview the Vector Arrow Symbols & Icons

Click to enlarge

When designing signage for wayfinding it is important to choose a high
contrast for the placement of the arrow, in the example below I’ve created small
squares to put in the arrow. This gives a great constrast and
good readability.

Hey Sander,

I converted your icons collection to XAML (a
language used to create user interface in Windows Presentation Foundation and
Silverlight, two technologies by Microsoft). The XAML
arrows are available at http://blog.galasoft.ch/archive/2009/08/31/56-vector-arrows-in-xaml.aspx

Thanks for your work,

Your idea of sharing your work itself is great. We are into signage
designing & fabrication & presently working on a project for a multinational
company after their identity change. These arrows will really come handy while
working. Would actually like to share our designs &
seek your expert advice…. if possible.
Thanks

Hey, great work but I can’t manage to open the .ai file. I’m on OS X 10.6 and tried to open the file using Preview,
InkScape, VectorDesigner and so on. The only way to look at the file is using
QuickLook. Strange, hu?
