Our icons

We help people feel good, look good and get more out of life with brands and services that are good for them and good for others. Our identity expresses Unilever's core values, with each icon representing an aspect of the business.

Icons explained

	Sun Our primary natural resource, the sun evokes Unilever's origins in Port Sunlight and can represent a number of our brands. Flora, Slim·Fast and Omo all use radiance to communicate their benefits.		Hand A symbol of sensitivity, care and need. It represents both skin and touch. Flower Represents fragrance. When seen with the hand, it represents moisturisers or cream.
	Bee Represents creation, pollination, hard work and bio-diversity. Bees symbolise both environmental challenges and opportunities.		DNA The double helix, the genetic blueprint of life and a symbol of bio-science. It is the key to a healthy life. The sun is the biggest ingredient of life, and DNA the smallest.
