Why to use icons in a presentation?

Adding icons can strongly boost the impact of your visual presentations. They help a reader to process information faster than text, making your content more digestible. This is because humans are naturally visual learners, and icons act like a universal language that can transcend language barriers. Icons can enrich or replace lengthy text blocks, decluttering your slides and focusing attention on key takeaways.

For a professional look of a PowerPoint slide, it's important to maintain consistency in your icon style. Imagine a slide show with a mix of cartoonish icons, flat icons, and detailed illustrations. This inconsistency creates a chaotic look and pulls focus away from your content. Using one icon style, like outlined icons, for example, creates a sense of cohesion and professionalism in the presentation.

Outlined icons offer a particularly modern and elegant aesthetic. Their clean lines and minimalist design feel fresh and contemporary. They also tend to be more versatile, working well on both light and dark backgrounds without overwhelming the presentation. By keeping your icon style consistent and opting for a modern approach like outlines, you can elevate the look and feel of your entire presentation.
