Icon request: more arrows

Open zadam opened this issue 6 years ago • 4 comments

I was looking for something to abstractly represent "jump" action - e.g. opening external link. For that I'm thinking you might have arrow coming out of a "box".

On the opposite you could also have arrow entering box to represent "entering" action.

Potentially one more - maybe arrow pointing from one box to another which might represent some transition or state change or something similar.

Hi again! Could you provide some images to represent your icons idea? Thanks!

Hi Michael, for the first one I was thinking about somethink like feathericon "external-link" - https://feathericons.com/

Second one is simply inverse - arrow entering the box (maybe from different angle).

Third one is difficult to visualize since the original required two boxes. But maybe single box as both source and target of the arrow which is pretty common in state machine diagrams - something like this:

Hi! Thanks for the image, I like the idea! Will add them both (external and "internal"), and will think about the last one to see if it's doable.

Another idea for the "external" arrow: https://www.iconfinder.com/icons/5116702/export_external_link_open_share_icon, but I am not sure how you'd do the interal one in this style. :)

PS: I came here looking for an "external link" icon that a lot of sites use to mark those.
