Lab & Science icons
UPDATE: These and other science logos and images are freely available for download over here.
It’s Friday night and she’s away, so I decided to chill out with my pals Corel Draw and Photoshop.
I’d been thinking about making these (and a whole bunch more!) for some time and decided to give it a go.
Here are the first couple of icon/images that I’m planning to make. Some Erlenmeyer flask icons.

And here are the graduated cylinder icons.

And finally a microbe of some sorts.

Please let me know what you think of these first icons and feel free to suggest the next ones in the set.
Note: The watermark is just so the bad guys don’t come and steal my colorful creations. ;)

These are awesome! :)
I wish I could create icons like these. I’m curious about the next ones, Rick!
Adorable! Now stop goofing around and get back to earning your rent. ;)
I like the erlenmeyers very much :). The bugs look scary ;)
Berci, Thanks! Any requests for the next ones?
Hsien, Ok ok! I’m on it! ;)
Pedro, Thanks! It means a lot coming from you! And nah, they are not scary. Hsien said they are adorable!
Those are really great, good color choices! I was trying to think of common lab equipment that would translate into interesting icons, like maybe bottles with caps, or a microcentrifuge, or a balance. Just a few ideas!
Use them in the next Angew Chem Int Ed or Chem Commun paper. They love colorful schemes~
If anyone is interested in using them, they should just drop a line :)
Rick,
I would love to be able to use them. I would certainly attribute your fine craftsmanship on every occasion.
Let me know what you think of the “map” I made since I was unable to use your images at the time I made it.
Some good ol’ beakers, testtubes (for the general public), and a distillation apparatus - to test your skill! (And I could use one.)
For anyone interested in downloading transparent usable versions of these icons and more, I’ve setup a page just for that.

“and a distillation apparatus - to test your skill!”
And maybe some HPLC columns :)
I’ll get working on those :D
Thanks, I have to put science pics on my binder for class these are cool!
