It is helpful to create your icons to represent the unique character of your local area or to be able to tag precise data for specialist map-making projects.
Designing and adding your own set of icons to the Green Map Platform can be a thoughtful, creative and fun activity for your community. There are do it yourself instructions in the Quick Start Guide. If you want help creating a custom icon set, we offer a design service.
You can use our design process to engage young people and harder-to-reach groups with your Green Map project by co-creating icons reflecting specific diversity and culture.
