The world is changing in many ways due to the pandemic.
What is Green Map doing to help? We created Recovery Icons! Use this set on local maps, apps, signs, social media, art, our mapping platform and more to help communities recover resiliently.
Map Your Community’s Recovery Resources
Building from the symbols underlying Green Map’s iconography, a new set was sketched out, discussed, revised and organized. Now, Recovery Icons are ready to share as a color Poster (shortcut bit.ly/2020recov) (or monotone)
Chart with definitions (as a PDF),
on our mapping platform and
as a set of image files (zipped set of PNGs and as SVGs) for making your own digital maps and media (as seen below).
Use them on signage, social media, apps, murals, etc.
#RecoveryIcons - tag your projects! With use, this set will evolve and improve as it amplifies local resources for public health, relaxing and regenerating the community anew. Now, you can use these icons on our mapping platform, and remotely co-create a powerful Recovery Map, infused with Green Map sensibility!
These Recovery Icons will help people re-localize and take action for wellbeing and a brighter future. This set includes new icons and existing Green Map Icons, which have appeared on maps made in 65 countries. We'll share the outcomes here and on social media.
We welcome your partnership, support and ideas for this open source COVID-19 recovery initiative. Please contact us and be well.
You'll be able to quickly make and share Recovery Green Maps with our mapping platform. Embed these maps in your own website. These open source icons can be used in your apps, on maps made on other mapping platforms, education projects, etc.

New Icons are created using Green Map’s ‘pattern language’ - special thanks to Ken Josephson for contributing unique Translator and Temporary Housing icons, drawing from his years of community mapping on Vancouver Island CA with UVic. Thank you to designer Sydney Maggin, our intern from Parsons New School of Design, for all her contributions, too.
Here are the first Recovery Maps of NYC neighborhoods, made as proofs of concept . What will you create and share here? #RecoveryIcons
