The Noun Project was created in 2011, with the aim to build a global visual language around iconography.

Over the years, the platform has evolved into a website that aggregates and catalogs over a million symbols created by graphic designers around the world.

This week they have unveiled their exciting new venture, Noun Project Photos, a professionally curated source for art-quality photography with a focus on inclusion and diversity.

“Visual language has the power to shape, reinforce, and change our perceptions about the world.

It is more important than ever that the visual resources we have access to, from the classroom to the boardroom, are inclusive, free from outdated stereotypes, and empower creation in a socially-conscious way.”

— Sofya Polyakov, CEO & Co-Founder of The Noun Project

“Our collection has been developed through the lens of inclusion.

Each photo available on Noun Project has been carefully selected to celebrate the diverse, beautiful world we live in.”
