The icon used is an envelope with a pencil. It&#8217;s very simple however if you take the icon away from the graphic, and just leave the text, then the messaging doesn&#8217;t come across the same way. That simple icon, created a design with flare and style to make people want to learn more.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1572\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1572\" style=\"width: 1376px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1572 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/getstencil.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/A-simple-icon-can-help-create-the-entire-design.-Create-images-in-Stencil-with-thousands-of-icons-to-choose-from..gif\" alt=\"A simple icon can help create the entire design.
