Freely Accelerating Time, the Symbol of “Speed and Efficiency”
A design combining a “film strip” representing the flow of time with “double arrows (fast-forward mark)” meaning acceleration. This symbolizes not only the function of skipping video but also a modern sense of speed, such as “skipping boring time” or “consuming information efficiently.” As a control function for video content, it also leaves a powerful impression as a metaphor for businesses and projects developing speedily toward the future.
Specific Usage Scenes and Suggested Applications
This material is active in any scene that values “speed,” from UI parts of video players to presentation materials for operational efficiency.
- For “Double Speed / Skip” Buttons in Video Players and Learning Apps: Ideal as a button to assign functions like “10-second fast forward” or “1.5x speed playback” in video players of e-learning or YouTube. For users who want to get a lot of information in a limited time, this icon intuitively conveys the benefit of “saving time (good time performance).” Because it includes a film design, it has higher visibility than an inorganic arrow, making it an easy-to-click UI.
- For Images of “Growth and Acceleration” in Business Materials and Websites: As an icon reinforcing the message of “accelerating business” in materials explaining corporate growth strategies and project roadmaps. By using it next to an upward-trending graph or decorating a heading like “Next Stage,” it visualizes the momentum to push forward into the future without stagnation. Utilization as a positive symbol evoking the “future.”
- For “Time-Lapse / Fast-Forward” Functions in Video Editing Software and Apps: As an icon indicating the effect of “time-lapse” or “fast-forward” that shortens long footage on the effect selection screen of video editing tools. If used as a menu icon when adding comical and dynamic productions, such as clouds flowing or city crowds moving at high speed, users can understand the content of the function at a glance.
- For “Jump to the Main Point” Links in Blog Articles and Web Media: Placed just below the introduction (lead) or the table of contents of a long article, utilize it as a skip link (anchor link) button saying “Click here if you only want to read the conclusion.” It can show consideration for busy readers, saying “You can shorten your reading time,” leading to an improvement in usability.
- For “Next Slide” Navigation in Events and Presentations: As a navigation button to “proceed to the next content” on the operation screen of digital signage or slideshow-style websites. Because it makes you feel the entertainment of “developing one after another” more than a simple arrow (→), you can prompt page turning while maintaining the user’s excitement.
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 is easy to process according to the design is also available as a set.
By utilizing the EPS format (vector data), you can freely adjust the expression of speed. Using software like Adobe Illustrator, increasing the arrows to three (⏭) means “Skip to the next chapter,” and slightly distorting the shape of the arrows diagonally (like italics) can produce a sense of sprinting: “Moving at breakneck speed.”
Also, changing the color of the film to advanced colors like “blue” or “green” makes it suitable for appealing the speedup and efficiency brought by technology.
