Green Map Icons

Welcome! Green Map Icons, version 3 are available for mapping and more - all to help you and your community thrive and become a healthier and more sustainable place! Now available under the Creative Commons rather than by copyright, you can use them according to the overview and licensing guidelines. This includes giving credit to Green Map, sharing alike and non commercial use on a variety of projects (with reciprocal support from income generating uses).

Get the Icon Poster, or download as PDF. Co-designed since 1995, the Green Map Icons evolve with our understanding of sustainability. Our thanks to everyone who took part in the development of Green Map Icons, Version 3. This set of Green Map Icons includes 170 icons in 12 categories arranged in 3 genres. Generally, Green Map projects do not use all of the icons on a single map.

Some of the Green Map Icons have extra features. For example, the Culture Site icon can be a site (point), route (line) or area (polygon). See the initial set of these at bit.ly/OGM2lines.
