How to include key features in your custom icon request

To help our Science Illustrators design your custom icon as accurately as possible, you’ll need to provide clear, descriptive visual guidance in the Key Features field of the Icon Request Form.

Disclaimer: Submitting an icon request does not guarantee fulfillment. Requests are evaluated based on scientific priority, request volume, and complexity.

This information helps ensure the icon we deliver matches your expectations and scientific context.

What to include in the key features field

Here are questions to help guide your entry:

  • Does the icon need to show specific visual characteristics?
    Example: "Include visible phospholipid bilayer" or "Label active site on the enzyme"
  • Should some characteristics be left out? If so, why?
    Example: "No mitochondria needed as focus is only on nucleus" or "Simplify to highlight only key receptor"

These notes help our team prioritize what matters most to your research communication.
