Icons add value to content when used in a purposeful way to reinforce copy, define action items, or explain an experience or feature. Icons increase visual interest and speed cognitive understanding, while simultaneously clarifying content hierarchy and information flow for users. 

Cradlepoint has a robust library of custom icons to be used for almost everything brand. Icons should always be in one color, against a single-color background. When using several icons in a grouping, all icons should be the same height.
