Types of Illustration Design & Icons

Illustrations and icons that clarify your story and data

Whether a pitch deck or website, our illustration design services simplify complex science. We help biotech, software, and  technology companies explain complex ideas in a way that helps audience “get it” more quickly.

Scientific Illustrations

Science deserves visuals that are both accurate and engaging. We create clean 2D illustrations that translate complex biology, chemistry, or medtech processes into graphics non-technical audiences can understand.

Whether used in a pitch deck, website, or conference poster, these illustrations make your research more approachable without sacrificing precision.

Custom Iconography

Icons are more than decoration — they’re a visual language. We design custom icon sets tailored to your brand system, giving you consistent tools that can be used across websites, decks, collateral, and internal communications.

The result is a cohesive look that reinforces your brand every time someone interacts with your materials.

Flow Diagrams

Technical workflows and pathways can overwhelm when presented only in text or tables. We transform them into easy-to-follow diagrams that make processes intuitive and actionable.

These visuals help stakeholders quickly grasp the “how” and “why” of your science, improving understanding and recall.

Our illustration design approach

Bringing ideas to life through simple, striking visuals

Over the years, we’ve crafted branded icon systems and illustrations that make complex science and technology approachable. From simplifying intimidating charts to building bold visual identities, our icon and illustration work helps brands communicate clearly and stand apart.

Clearstart • Modern, Striking Icon System

Clearstart wanted icons that felt bold and contemporary. We designed a set that combined modern lines with a striking, hip energy—illustrations that looked as sharp on a website as they did in pitch decks.

This unique system helped position Clearstart as a forward-thinking brand, visually aligned with their progressive approach.

Xltapi • Distinct Icons for Biotech

Standing out in biotech isn’t easy, but Xltapi’s icons were designed to do exactly that. We built a set of branded visuals that were unmistakably theirs—distinct from competitors, yet firmly grounded in their science.

These icons added a layer of personality and differentiation, giving their brand a sharper edge in a crowded market.

Alloy • Simplifying Complex Science

For Alloy, a biotech company, we turned overwhelming charts and dense technical visuals into clear, branded illustrations.

By distilling scientific complexity into simplified icons and diagrams, we helped the brand communicate research outcomes without losing credibility. The result: visuals that are both accessible and authoritative.

Medicilon illustration design example
Medicion • Abstract Branded Marks

Medicion’s identity needed branded marks that felt abstract yet meaningful. We created a suite of illustrations that could operate at both a symbolic and practical level, embodying the company’s innovative spirit.

These icons became not just a visual language but a cornerstone of the brand’s story—instantly recognizable, flexible, and ownable.
