The Guemil v20 icons are an update designed to optimize visual communication for emergency management. Visually, this version features a lighter and cleaner appearance, along with a stencil-friendly design, thus expanding its use across different media and situations. You can see the design process, here.

The icons have been organized into five thematic categories for easier browsing. They can be downloaded separately in SVG and PNG formats.
