New Chart: Icon chart

Icon charts are great for showing your audience an overall comparison of usually smaller sets of data. Different icon types in relative sizes and data driven coloring give extra dimensions to this chart. Properties that are very popular in business communication or media. 

And as with all Datylon charts, you have full creative flexibility to style it in all its details. Find more information [here].
