We are cinematic by heart and filled with emotions. The same goes for our images. We are never generic or boring. We are nordic originals with a worldly approach.
1. Icon style
1.1 Icon library
We use Google’s icon set material symbols within our brand identity. This is an extensive collection of over 3.000 symbols available on an OpenSource licence, making it free to use.
The collection is easily searchable and covers a wide range of subject matter and should cover everything you will need.

1.3 How to download icons
Icons can be downloaded from the material symbols library on Google Fonts.

- For use in Microsoft Office or Adobe Creative Suite programs, please download an SVG file. This file format allows you to edit the colour of icon which is needed for icons to match text colour.
- Icons can then be placed into the document you are working on.
