Opened Email / Letter Free Icons | Vector Assets

Prompting Access to the Contents, “Opened Email” Free Material

An icon designed with the flap of an envelope open and the letter paper inside popping out slightly. It expresses not just a picture of an envelope, but “that it has contents” and “that it is opened.” It has the effect of guiding the user’s eyes to the contents, functioning not only as a “Read” status display in email software but also as “New Information (Notice)” on a website or a button to click and read details.

Specific Usage Scenes and Suggested Applications

This icon is active in scenes involving the act of “reading,” from email status management to campaign announcements.

• For “Read Status” in Email and Messaging Apps: In the UI design of an inbox, as an icon representing “Read (Opened)” in contrast to a closed envelope (unread). It contributes to improved usability because users can tell at a glance which emails have been processed.
• For “Read on Web” Buttons in Newsletters and E-magazines: As an icon for the “Open in Browser” button when HTML emails do not display correctly or when you want users to view back numbers in a web browser. The image that “the seal is open = the contents can be seen immediately” lowers the psychological hurdle to click.
• For “Notice / Update Information” Lists on Websites: As an icon placed next to the title of each article in the “News” or “Information” section. Especially when indicating a link to a detail page, it emotionally conveys the nuance that “There is a notice (letter) inside” better than a simple arrow.
• For the “Invitation” Image of Campaigns and Events: As a visual when presenting a special offer along with the catchphrase “An invitation has arrived for you.” Because the letter paper is visible, it stimulates the user’s curiosity to “want to see the contents.”
• On the “Confirm Sent Contents” Screen of Inquiry Forms: On the screen where the user confirms the entered contents, it can be used as a metaphor for “Sending with the following contents (preparing to send a letter),” or as an guidance icon saying “We have sent a receipt completion email” after transmission.

Editing Tips and the Merits of the EPS Format

The distribution files include PNG and SVG formats convenient for web production, as well as the EPS format of vector data suitable for DTP design and advanced editing.

By utilizing the EPS format (vector data), you can freely customize the letter paper inside. Using software like Adobe Illustrator, if you pull the letter paper further up and draw the contents (ruled lines or text), it becomes a more specific “letter” illustration, and changing the color of the letter paper to “red” or “gold” makes it look like a special email such as an important notice or a coupon.
Also, because the envelope and the letter paper are separate parts, you can delete the letter paper to make an “empty envelope,” or conversely take out just the letter paper and use it as a “memo icon.”
