# Custom Activity Icons

In ScholarLMS each activity or resource has its own unique default icon. The icons visually help students in recognizing what type of activity ([Assignment](https://www.scholarlms.com/encyclopedia/assignment/), Quiz, Forum, etc) they are going to attend. For brand's consistency or other obvious reasons, an institute/organization using LMS may want to have its own set of icons for its students. This is where the custom activity/resource icons feature comes handy. It is an extended feature (plugin) which allows you to have custom icons for activities/resources.
