A little icons set i created for an app. I wanted to add a bit of 3D to these but not to the point of using the isometric scripts i usually apply. This results in a subtle 3D aspect i found fancy, might produce some more with this style :)

Mobile App Icon: Do's and Don'ts
The mobile app icon is often the first interaction users have with your app. It acts as the digital 'face' of your application and plays a crucial role in influencing user impressions and download decisions. Crafting a compelling icon requires attention to detail and an understanding of design best practices. Let's delve into the do's and don'ts of mobile app icon design.
Do's:
1. Prioritize Simplicity
Choose a clean and straightforward design that clearly represents your app's purpose. Avoid overly intricate details that can be lost on small screens.
2. Ensure Recognizability
Design an icon that stands out in a sea of other apps. It should be memorable and instantly associated with your app's functionality or brand.
3. Maintain Consistency with Your Brand
Ensure that the app icon aligns with your brand's colors, style, and ethos. Consistency reinforces brand recall and trustworthiness.
4. Test Across Different Backgrounds
Ensure your icon looks good against both light and dark backgrounds, considering the various themes users might have on their devices.
5. Update Periodically
As design trends evolve, consider refreshing your app icon to stay modern and relevant.
Don'ts:
1. Avoid Using Words or Letters
Text can be challenging to read at small sizes. Rely on visual imagery rather than words or letters, unless it's a recognized brand logo or initial.
2. Don't Neglect Sizing and Resolution
Icons may appear on various devices with differing resolutions. Ensure you provide high-quality icons that look crisp on all screens.
3. Avoid Generic Designs
Steer clear of overused motifs or generic imagery. Your icon should uniquely represent your app and not be easily confused with others.
4. Don't Overcomplicate with Colors
While color is essential, using too many can make the icon appear chaotic. Stick to a limited color palette that aligns with your brand.
Conclusion:
Designing a captivating mobile app icon is a blend of art and strategy. By following these do's and don'ts, designers can create compelling icons that not only attract users but also encapsulate the essence of the app and the brand it represents.
