Repository files navigation

This is a collection of various technical icons, glyphs, logos and other imagery all in SVG format. The icons are mainly Azure related but there are various other brands and logos plus abstract/generic symbols.

All files are run through SVGO to clean them up and optimize them, with 'removeDimensions' plugin enabled

Many overlaps exist between the three main Azure icon sets, this expected, but each set also has unique icons hence their reason for inclusion. Condensing down to one merged super-set would be a huge undertaking

Icon Galleries

To view the icons, thumbnail gallery pages for each of the main sets is provided. The gallery pages also allow you to search the icons, view them on a range of light & dark backgrounds and also download the icon in SVG or PNG format.
Note. These galleries only work when viewing this repo from GitHub pages here https://code.benco.io/icon-collection/

If viewing the downloaded icons in Windows, install PowerToys and enable the 'File Explorer Preview' module as it supports showing SVGs as thumbnails within explorer

Core Azure Sets

This set is the official downloadable collection from the Azure Architecture Center, the best place to look if you're after an Azure service or common Azure related icon. The set has been flattened (no sub-directories) and superfluous prefixes removed from the filenames

Scraped from main Azure docs site, all major Azure services are in here plus a couple of other useful icons. It's a smallish set and a good place to start if you require an icon for a top level Azure service.

This set comprises the "Microsoft Azure Icon Repository" from the Microsoft Cloud Design Studio. There is an almost complete overlap with the above two sets, however there's some unique icons in here, and icons from the Azure portal which aren't anywhere else.

Very large set of 1200+ icons including many Azure services, but mostly focused on other concepts, actions and gyphs. This has been scraped from https://azure.microsoft.com/en-gb/patterns/styles/glyphs-icons/ This is made public, as part of the "Sundog" Azure.com design system.

Other Sets

Various product, company & programing language logos, hand picked & fetched from various sources online. Theses may or may not be directly Azure related

Many other Azure & Microsoft icons sourced from various places; Azure.com pages, Azure Docs git repo, Azure portal etc. Most of these are hand picked or moved here manually, these shouldn't overlap with the other sets, but may do

Links to Other Collections

These are not part of this icon set, but linked to here as a useful external resources

The official Kubernetes icons for all the resource types; pods, nodes, namespaces, etc etc. Available as PNG, SVG and in labeled and unlabeled forms

Logos and icons for CNCF and CNCF projects

Free SVG mono-coloured icons for popular projects & brands

Huge set of over 5,000 icons, free set of over 1,500 which can be downloaded as SVG

Not a set of icons, but a browser extension for Chrome and Edge which allows you to easily grab icons from the Azure portal


Scraping & Other Tools

Various Node.js and bash scripts used for scraping, converting and generating the gallery pages are contained in the _tools folder. These are provided as-is with minimal documentation. Here be dragons.
