If you need to mention the ideas of transparency, understanding, or clear explanation and direction in your presentation, check our graphic examples. We suggest using visual metaphors to show the clarity concept and support your message to the audience. Below you can over 30 ideas of symbols you can use.
A practical advice from a slide designer: if you are going to use more icons in your presentation, remember to keep them graphically consistent. Use one icon style for all slides and limited set of colors – ideally based on your visual identity.
Outline style visual metaphors for a clarity concept presentation
Icons within this graphical line style are a good addition to presentation content if you are looking for delicate illustrations. Such icons will not steal too much attention from your message. They can be easily customized to suit light or dark backgrounds. These graphics are universally appealing for different audiences and types of presentations:
- Diamond and a drop of water can represent crystal clear ideas, translucent materials, and transparency
- Talk and thought exchange visualize communication and understanding
- Charts and matrixes icons for clear structures, order and tidiness
- Checklists and boards to show clear explanation, transparent documents
- Eye and vision express clear, sharp view, and visual communication
- Magnifying glass for in-depth understanding and clarity
You can find all icons mentioned above and many other in a collection of Outline Icons for PowerPoint, which we have designed over the last years.
Ideas for hand-drawn symbols of a clarity concept
If you want to be more unique and express personal touch in your presentation, consider using those scribble pictograms:
- Structures, cycles, tables, spreadsheets for illustrating clear instructions
- Person with board for any explanations
- Diamond as a symbol of transparency
- Compass can be used to show clear direction
- Quotation marks expressing exact definition of task or goal
You can find the above visuals in the Scribble PowerPoint Symbols Collection.
