✦ Maharashtra Icon Set — Cultural Identity in Three Visual Styles
This icon design project captures the multifaceted identity of Maharashtra through a collection of custom-designed icons, each reflecting different aspects of the state's culture, transportation, and heritage. I developed the set across three distinct visual styles to create contrast, richness, and clarity:
Solid Fill Icons —
These bold, black-filled icons represent Maharashtra’s everyday urban movement:
The iconic Kaali Peeli taxi
Mumbai Metro
Auto-rickshaw
Designed for clarity and simplicity, these icons are ideal for signage, app interfaces, and transit graphics.
Pixel Art Icons —
Celebrating Mumbai’s Bollywood legacy, this retro-styled set includes:
A film clapperboard
Camera
Cassette tape
The pixel aesthetic nods to classic video games while paying tribute to the vibrant, ever-evolving film industry at the heart of Maharashtra.
Line Art Icons —
These minimalist, stroke-based icons highlight the architectural and historical identity of the state:
Gateway of India
Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus
Shaniwar Wada, a 17th-century fort in Pune rich with Maratha history
Each icon balances precision and elegance, suited for cultural publications, tourism guides, or editorial layouts.
The full set reflects a layered portrait of Maharashtra — from its fast-paced streets and cinematic roots to its enduring monuments — all expressed through thoughtful, style-driven design.
