How to Integrate Icons into Notion?
Quick Tutorial
In this article, we will explore Notion Icons.
Let’s start with the fundamental question: What is an icon?
Icons are pictograms. They are symbols that represent something — take, for instance, a megaphone, which often stands for marketing or advertising. Or the light bulb: It symbolizes knowledge and information.
Icons facilitate communication, as we humans as visual beings process images faster than text.
Notion has embraced this visual language and now offers its own icons to not only make Notion workspaces more organized but also aesthetically enhanced.
Initially, only emojis were usable in Notion; while they are helpful in digital communication, they can sometimes appear a bit childish. Therefore, users started to upload individual graphics or include them via links years ago.
This was already easy to do in Notion back then, and this option is still available today: simply click on the Custom tab in the emoji menu and insert a link to a graphic or upload your own graphic.
