: Help identifying a style consisting of only basic shapes, like Flat design but more rudimentary Recently, I have been seeing more and more examples of some kind of design style consisting only

@Shelley591

As the other answers collectively point out...there is no single term for this.

Adjectives to describe it could include


flat
simplified
iconinc
geometric
wireframed
low-fi(delity)


Like most good branding, it's merely a style that was replicated throughout their branding and that is the key...less so than what the actual style might be called or based on.

You will find similar results when looking for 'Low Fidelity' icons, wireframes etc. The style comes from low fidelity wireframes, used in the early design process to roughly sketch out the flow of a product.

However lately you see a lot of icons in this minimal style and I have found a lot of these icons are labeled as 'minimal flat design' too.

It does indeed fall under flat design as well, and you will find many similar results when looking for flat icons.

I've heard it referred to as blockframing, as in wireframes with block elements.

It's a concept taken from something called block framing which is simply creating something out of blocks.

if such figures are hand drawn its called "LOW FI PROTOTYPES" ..so i think in your case it might be called "LOW FI PROTOTYPE VECTOR".. but still im not sure about that

But recently i was also in search of such elements and i stumbled upon some such elements in themeforest. themeforest.net/item/madkit-lowfi-prototypes-uxui-kit/15693066
Hope this helps

The dashes are usually used in wireframe designs and scamps. I would call this a flat design mockup concept.

When I ran a search I came across this www.titanui.com/17339-flat-designed-mobile-cooking-app-wireframe-psd/
Hope it answers your doubt
