City Girl Emojis

Emoji that help urban creators, city brands and commuters give a post a taxi-and-skyline big-city look.

The commute

Platforms, trams, bus stops and a cash machine on the corner.

Skyline

Towers, cranes, helicopters and the statue at the harbour.

Street food

Carts, bagels and the slice on the walk home.

Going out

Heels, a handbag and the taxi back at the end of the night.

About this kit

The city girl feed is shot between a subway platform and a rooftop: a taxi at the kerb, a coffee carried through a crosswalk, a crane over a half-built tower, a hot dog cart at midnight and an arrivals board at the airport for the friend who is finally visiting. Creators who live in New York, London or any dense city use it for a bio and a daily commute, fashion brands for a street-shot campaign, cafΓ©s and bars for a weekend plan, and tourism accounts for an itinerary. This kit is grouped by the route through the day. The commute set covers trains, stops and cash machines, the skyline set brings towers, cranes and helicopters, the street-food set feeds the walk home, and the going-out set covers the heels and the taxi back. Use one transit emoji as a location stamp, and write the neighbourhood name in words.

Using these emoji well

  • Treat one transit emoji as a location stamp at the start or end of the line, then write the neighbourhood name in words beside it.
  • The statue and skyline mark New York specifically; for another city, lead with the tram or bus stop instead so the caption still rings true.
  • Screen readers announce "station" and "bus stop" without any hint of which one, so the actual stop, cafΓ© or address belongs in the text.
