An Immersive Video Experience on a Large Screen. “PC Monitor Playback” UI Icon

A design where the standard “play button” of a video player is placed on the screen of a desktop monitor with a stand. Unlike casual viewing on a smartphone or tablet, it can clearly convey situations such as settling down to enjoy content on a large screen, or performing creative work like video editing using a PC.

Specific Usage Scenes and Suggested Applications

This material is active in any scene indicating video use in a PC environment, from online learning platforms to introducing video production tools.

• For “Viewing Guidance” on Video Streaming Services and Learning Sites for PCs
  On introduction pages for content recommended for viewing on a PC, such as movies, dramas, and online courses (e-learning). It is ideal as a visual complementing messages like “You can watch carefully on a large screen” or “Start taking the course on a PC.” By using it differently from the smartphone version icon, you can present users with the optimal viewing environment according to the device.
• For “Feature Introductions” of Video Editing Software and Video Production Tools
  On the websites of video editing software like Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro, as an image of a “preview screen.” Having a play button inside the monitor intuitively conveys its role in the UI: “You can check the edited video here.” It also functions as a symbol indicating that it is a tool for creators.
• For Guiding Users to “Video Content” on Corporate Product Introductions and Recruitment Sites
  As a link button when making users view company introduction videos or employee interview videos on a PC on the top page of a corporate site or recruitment information page. Compared to a mere text link, it raises the expectation that “rich video content is prepared,” which can be expected to improve the click-through rate.
• In “Sales Promotion” Banners for Desktop PCs and Monitors
  On the EC sites of electronics retail stores or BTO computers, as material for banner ads appealing “watching videos” as a use for high-performance PCs and 4K monitors. By placing it along with a catchphrase like “Enjoy movies on an impressive large screen,” it makes people imagine rich usage scenes after purchasing the product.
• For “PC Participation” Guidance in Webinars (Web Seminars)
  On application pages for business webinars, as an icon when recommending participation via PC where materials are easy to see. By adding it to the warning “Since we will be screen sharing on the day, we recommend participating from a PC,” it helps participants prepare their viewing environment.

Editing Tips and the Merits of the EPS Format

Completely free for both commercial and personal use. In addition to PNG and SVG data that are easy to handle on the web, EPS (vector) files that are easy to composite by inserting actual images into the monitor screen are also available for download.

By utilizing the EPS format (vector data), you can create more realistic mockups (finished samples). Using software like Adobe Illustrator, by placing the thumbnail image of an actual video or a screenshot of a website in the monitor screen part (square area) using a clipping mask, you can easily create a persuasive composite image that looks as if a video is playing on that monitor.
Also, arranging the play button color to “red” or “blue” to make it stand out is effective.
