Outline graphics and modern style-neutral graphics are both perfect for professional audiences. Outline icons are light and clean, whereas modern, flat symbols have a more striking aesthetic. They are heavier than outline icons, but are not heavy-handed. Check out these icon ideas. They represent different ideas of energy we collected. See if any will fit your needs:

  • Renewable energy icons are great for representing energy creation.
  • Rocket launches perfectly represent energy for new ideas, projects, or a new product launch.
  • Positive and negative symbols can represent the positive and negative energy employees bring to the table, including pessimism and optimism.
  • Batteries can easily represent energy expenditure, reserves, and the importance of taking time to recover, or power level.
  • Food icons are a great symbol for presenting self-care and the importance of human energy sources
  • The energy in physics – Newton laws of moving objects, or chain reaction
  • Windmill, sun, ecological light bulb – representing modern, eco-friendly energy
  • A chemical process
  • Traditional sources of energy like electricity, carbon-fueled powerhouse, fuel (gas), but also nuclear (atom) energy and power plants
