Social Media Icons are everywhere. Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Blogger and all the rest have their own recognizable icon. A site's icon is the one, and maybe the only, thing that sets them apart from other social media sites. Social media is a networking tool that allows you to share news, jobs, talk internationally, share links and pictures, and the list can go on and on.
I bet everyone knows the Facebook icon from the YouTube icon because this sign becomes branded into peoples mind the more they see it. It becomes designated for only that site. The icon is a fast and efficient way to access sites without going through the entire search engine process. Not only is this useful in differentiating social media sites, but it also allows people to recognize icons anywhere.
Almost every website or social media page has several icons on the sidebar or on the bottom of the page that allows you to share information with other people. People can recognize and even identify any particular three centimeter icon and know where it would lead them. That's amazing!
In today's world, its important to set yourself apart from the rest of the crowd. Well, now you can do it through social media icons! This website allows you to create your own! Check it out.

Isn't it crazy how a few years ago these pictures never even existed and now EVERYONE knows them! We are even encouraged to make up an icon for ourselves. Talk about branding. It starts with an icon but soon we will have our own slogan, theme song, and collectable lunch box.
