56 Free Arrow Symbols & Icons
Wednesday, May 21st, 2008
Professional edited free vector arrow symbols & icons for personal and/or commercial usage. This collection of arrow symbols can help you in your art & design. Arrows are often used in Signage and Wayfinding design to guide a visitor in the right direction. All 56 arrows are drawn by Sander Baumann with Adobe Illustrator and can be used in many different ways.

When designing signage for wayfinding it is important to choose a high contrast for the placement of the arrow, in the example below I’ve created small squares to put in the arrow. This gives a great constrast and good readability.

Hey Sander,
I converted your icons collection to XAML (a language used to create user interface in Windows Presentation Foundation and Silverlight, two technologies by Microsoft). The XAML arrows are available at http://blog.galasoft.ch/archive/2009/08/31/56-vector-arrows-in-xaml.aspx
Thanks for your work,
Laurent

I will attribute whenever I can and will definitely tell other designers about your good work.

Your idea of sharing your work itself is great. We are into signage designing & fabrication & presently working on a project for a multinational company after their identity change. These arrows will really come handy while working. Would actually like to share our designs & seek your expert advice…. if possible.
Thanks
