Icons are among the most versatile tools in a web designer’s arsenal. They can be used as attention-grabbing visuals just about anywhere on a website or app. Whether they’re alerting users of a flash sale or a new social media notification, they usually get the point across.

Thus, utilizing icons in a site’s navigation seems like a natural fit. Visually, it sure makes sense. But doing it well does require some careful planning.

With accessibility being such a key concern, extra steps need to be taken when icons aren’t accompanied by text. Context is also vital. While it may be obvious that the little house icon takes you to the home page, other concepts aren’t so easy to convey.

Today, we share eight unique CSS and JavaScript code snippets that bring icons to navigation. Along the way, we’ll point out some elements that make them stand out – for better or worse.
