Using owl illustrations in the web and icon design is a trend nowadays. Internet is full of such designs. In order to verify my words, visit Flickr, Behance, Deviantart and find a huge collection of owl illustrations. By they way, feel free to check out these PrintRunner custom brochures.
Owl illustrations are not only a web trend, they are popular in the fashion, television and cartoon design too. So why designers and illustrators all over the world are going crazy about them? Why these birds are so popular? Let's try to understand it.
Owls are characterized by their small beaks and wide faces. It allows to create the illustration in any style you like. They might be cute, funny, serious or even wicked.
The owl is a symbol of wisdom and femininity. This bird was a symbol for Athena, goddess of wisdom and strategy too. Such a diversity of roles that can be implemented provides owl as a universal character. Each illustration of the owl is unique and one and only. I'm sure, you will not find two identical owl images.
