Here at Presentation Panda, we love the simplicity of outline icons (icons that are not filled in) because they are clean and minimalistic.

There are many types of icons out there to choose from, each set of them like a unique grouping of patterns and shapes and style.

Just like last week when we talked about not all professional presentation templates being created equal, neither are presentation icons. Right now, contemporary design trends in 2016 favor minimalist and eye-pleasing simplicity in everything from logos to design layouts to color schemes.Ī hugely important part of the contemporary “less-is-more” style is the use of icons, which have been slimmed down in lieu of the flashy graphics and bouncing 3D buttons of the past. Nice looking icons can make a BIG difference – nobody wants a presentation that looks like it came from Windows 98 (although one day, maybe late 1990s graphics will be in style, so who knows). When it comes to PowerPoint presentations, the devil is in the details.
