April has been a big month. We’ve updated our Framer plugin to make your design workflow smoother, launched the Streamline API for faster, smarter access, and added hundreds of new icons and elements.
In this update, we’ll walk you through what we’ve shipped, what we’re working on, and what’s just around the corner.
You probably never complained about our old speech bubble icon. It had a sharp, angled tail tucked into the corner. It did its job. Most people didn’t notice anything was wrong. But we did.
So, we moved the tail. It’s now centered, more geometric, and more balanced.
It’s easier to read at small sizes. More universally recognizable. And more harmonious next to other icons in our set.
Because that’s what Streamline is all about.
We believe icons are never done. That’s why we quietly refine them—sometimes pixel by pixel—so you can design with confidence and clarity.
This update isn’t just about speech bubbles. Or about these AI sparkles icons:
It’s about our commitment to a living, breathing, ever-improving library. The kind of resource you can rely on forever.
You can now drag and drop icons, illustrations, emoji, and elements directly into your designs without ever leaving the canvas.
The plugin lets you search, edit colors, and access both free and premium assets—all from inside Framer. We'd love feedback if you have some.
If you’re building a design or collaboration tool, visual limitations quietly lower the quality of user outcomes.
Streamline’s API gives your app instant access to thousands of fresh, searchable visuals: icons, illustrations, and graphic elements. It's an easy upgrade that your users will appreciate—even if they never ask for it.
Most design libraries ship and move on. We do the opposite. We go back in—adding new assets to existing sets to make them richer, more flexible, and more expressive. This month, that means:
A burst of human energy in vector form—perfect for underlines, highlights, or a hand-touched feel. Available in two expressive styles: Beveled (fixed weight) and Variable (adjustable stroke width).
Tech-inspired visual elements for immersive, modern aesthetics. The set features two distinct stylistic directions.
Micro Line and Solid Icons
500+ tiny icons are on their way to being published. Perfect for inline text and small buttons where efficiency in communication is key.
Flex Icons
250+ icons will be added to the elegant Flex icon sets. We'll also cascade them to neutral Core and brutal Sharp.
If you have any suggestions or ideas for us, please send us your feedback. We'd love to hear it!

We’ve refreshed the AI sparkle icon across all four styles in our Icon System—Core, Flex, Sharp, and Plump. It’s a small tweak with a big impact—especially in tight layouts where clarity matters most.
The new sparkles feature longer, pointier arms that replace the older, stubby shapes. This gives them a sharper, more elegant presence without losing their charm. They now look like actual sparkles—not just little stars with short arms.
From top left to right bottom: improved sparkles shown in icons from Core Line, Flex Duo, Plump Flat, and Sharp Solid sets.
Clearer at small sizes. Thicker details added visual clutter at small sizes. The refined points help the icons stay clean and recognizable, even in compact UI elements.
Improved balance and consistency. This update fixes uneven weights, misalignments, and inconsistent sparkle shapes—resulting in a more polished, unified look across all icons and styles.
Update your icons and bring a little more magic to your UI.
A timeless, minimalist icon set, like Helvetica—neutral yet friendly.

We’ve updated the design of the speech bubble icons across three sets in our Icon System—Core, Flex, and Sharp. While the change may seem subtle at first glance, it improves both clarity and consistency.
The most noticeable update is the position and shape of the tail. Previously, the speech bubble had a sharp, angled tail pointing from the bottom corner. In the new version, the tail is centered and more geometric, giving the icon a more balanced and familiar shape. The inner symbols—whether it’s text lines, a heart, or other symbols—remain unchanged.
Improved legibility at smaller sizes. The new tail shape holds up better when the icon is scaled down, which is essential for interfaces where space is limited.
More universal visual language. The updated shape reflects the most widely recognized form of a speech bubble, making it more intuitive for users.
Greater visual harmony. The centered tail creates a more symmetrical and stable form, especially when placed alongside other icons in a set.
Whether it’s used to represent a comment, message, or quote, the updated icon is designed to feel more polished and functional across all contexts. Get them now.
