Line Art of a “Microphone,” Stripped Down to a Symbol
An extremely simple line art icon of a hand microphone consisting only of the outlines of a circle and a rectangle (handle). The minimalist design, devoid of all decorations like meshes and switches, easily blends into any design taste and conveys the functions of “singing,” “speaking,” and “picking up sound” without giving an oppressive feeling. It is suitable for conveying meaning without becoming information noise in black-and-white printed materials or flat web designs.
Specific Usage Scenes and Suggested Applications
This material is active in scenes where you want to subtly express a “voice,” from the UI of karaoke apps to icons in business materials.
- As a “UI Icon” for Karaoke Apps and Music Services: As a button indicating “Karaoke function” or “Recording mode” on the menu screen of a smartphone app. The line art without fills does not make the screen heavy and gives a light and modern impression. It is a design that is easy to adapt to UI status changes, such as changing the color or thickening the line only when it is in the selected (active) state.
- For the Mark of the “Facilitator / MC” at Events and Weddings: As a small mark indicating the position and turn of the MC (Master of Ceremonies) on a timetable or seating chart. Because it does not assert itself too much even when placed next to text, it smartly supplements the information that “The facilitator is here.” It blends seamlessly into handwritten-style designs and sophisticated, stylish invitations.
- For the “Speaker” Icon in Interview Articles and Dialogues: As a speech bubble icon indicating who is speaking in interview articles of PR magazines and web media. It is convenient when you want to visually distinguish between the “Questioner” and the “Respondent” without going so far as to use face photos. Because it is simple, it does not interfere with the content or tone and manner of the article.
- For the “Speech / Presentation” Part of Presentation Materials: As an icon decorating pages like “President’s Greeting” or “Q&A” in materials such as PowerPoint. It is a clean line art that is easy to use even in business settings. Placed in the corner of a slide, it plays the role of visually guiding that it is currently “presentation time.”
- For the “Launch Button” of Voice Input and Voice Memos: As a microphone button to start voice input in a search box or memo app. Because the shape of the microphone itself represents the function, users can intuitively understand that “pressing here allows voice input” without reading an explanation.
Editing Tips and the Merits of the EPS Format
Completely free for both commercial and personal use. In addition to PNG and SVG that can be used immediately on the web, EPS data that allows you to freely edit the line thickness and color is also available as a set.
By utilizing the EPS format (vector data), you can fine-tune the nuance of the line art. Using software like Adobe Illustrator, changing the line thickness from uniform to a “handwritten-style brush” creates a rough and friendly atmosphere. Conversely, making it an ultra-fine line gives a delicate and stylish impression.
It is also recommended to arrange it into a retro and pop design by applying “misregistration-style” processing, where only the inside of the round part is painted with a light color, or colors are overlapped with a slight shift.
