Clearer meaning
Simple silhouettes emphasize the command’s purpose instead of literal detail that becomes unreadable at toolbar size.

Design principles
Meaning before decoration.
Designed by an industrial designer and long-time Rhino user, each icon is reduced to the idea behind the command. A shared grid and restrained color system make tools easier to scan and remember.
Consistent geometry
Icons follow a 48 × 48 grid with controlled visual weight, improving rhythm across crowded toolbars and panels.
Useful color
Color identifies tool families: blue for surfaces, teal for SubD, green for mesh, yellow for lights, and red for edges or warnings.
Icon details
Designed for toolbar scale.
The original close-up studies are preserved here because they show what a full-screen screenshot cannot: consistent weight, clear tool families, and readable silhouettes at everyday sizes.
Before / after
Less friction at a glance.
The layout stays familiar. The visual language becomes quieter, more consistent, and easier to navigate during long modeling sessions.
