Create a CAD inspired icon-set for BRL-CAD website

completed by: Luke Blue

mentors: Sean

BRL-CAD's new website design uses lot of icons. It would be great if these icons have the look and feel of CAD/CAM in it.

So the task consists of making an icon set including icons for:

  • All the menu buttons (About,Downloads,Documentation,Community, Blog, Gallery)
  • Sign-Up & Log-In icons
  • Major Social Media Icons

Few things to keep in mind:

  • All icons should somehow adopt the look and feel of CAD.
  • They all should be in PNG/AI/SVG format.
  • The icons need not be complexed or textured, though long shadowed flat icons would be appreciated.
