Custom SVG Icons for Thermo Fisher Scientific
A large-scale icon design project for SampleManager LIMS software, delivering over 2,000 custom SVG icons to improve usability, clarity, and consistency across a global pharma platform.
Client:
Thermo Fisher Scientific
Project Scope:
2,000+ Custom SVG Icons
Enterprise-Grade Custom Icon Design
Thermo Fisher Scientific is a leader in scientific research and laboratory software. Their SampleManager LIMS system is relied upon by pharmaceutical and life sciences companies worldwide. To maintain their edge in usability and visual consistency, they turned to Creative Freedom for a complete custom SVG icon set.
Over 2,000 icons were created, each designed to work flawlessly at multiple sizes and resolutions. Using our proprietary Icon Manager platform, we were able to streamline collaboration, reviews, and delivery across a long-term project involving complex design challenges.
Designing for Scale and Clarity
The goal was simple but ambitious: unify and modernise the iconography across a complex scientific platform used by thousands of professionals. The icons had to meet demanding standards for clarity, scalability, and brand alignment, without compromising user experience.
Our team developed a custom design system that defined icon grids, visual style, and interaction principles. Every icon was built in SVG format to ensure scalability and future-proof compatibility with modern web and software interfaces.
Collaboration with Confidence
Icon Manager smooths Custom SVG Icon projects
With hundreds of icon batches and multiple rounds of feedback, managing the workflow was critical. Icon Manager made it easy for Thermo Fisher’s stakeholders to review, comment, and approve icons in real time, no spreadsheets, no lost files, no confusion.
This project demonstrates how we support enterprise clients with high-performance icon systems tailored to unique software environments.
Icon Manager maintains transparency and reduces lead time even on projects with thousands of custom icons
What WeDelivered
Over 2,000 custom SVG icons, designed, reviewed, and delivered at scale. Every asset aligned with the client’s technical requirements and brand goals. From user interface icons to complex visual metaphors, each symbol was crafted for clarity and usability.
Working with creative freedom was fun and effective, made better by possibly the most efficient project management website I have yet to work with (Icon Manager). The project was delivered on time in full and the creative freedom team were very flexible in accommodating changes
