iconless
Lacking visual markers
Iconless describes something lacking an icon—a small graphic symbol used in computing interfaces, religious contexts, or visual representation generally.
A file may appear iconless when software fails to generate its thumbnail.
An iconless desktop has been stripped of its shortcuts.
The word extends to anything missing expected symbolic imagery: an iconless faith, an iconless brand.
