Your Mobile App Needs A Unique Icon

While surfing through a mobile app store on your phone, you must have noticed that there are two ways you will notice any mobile application one is either by its name or by its icon. These are the two major constituents that often determine the behavior of the consumer; by noticing both or either one of these two your consumer will decide whether or not to download it or at least make them feel worth checking.  After that comes the interface or the description and everything else. Capabilities that your application has will be checked later not in terms of time, but in terms of users reviews an impressions. Sometimes it may take just an icon for the user to imagine the whole experience, security, functionality an intutivity in their mind.

Here are few steps that will help you make a nice mobile app from a mobile app specialist.

You should keep icons simple

This can be considered as the thumb rule of app designing, as you have limited space. Best thing is if you put just one object on the icon. Make sure that this object is the essence of the app, along with the gradients and reflections that surround it.

Use light colors

It is always a good idea not to use too much gaudy color. It also happens that the lesser colors you use, the better the icons become.  Not more than two is enough, and two different shades of the same color would make it look better.

Do not use pictures

Usually this problem comes when you outsource mobile app development, the developers from different countries tend to use the pictures as a logo.  As the pictures do not set as per the requirement of the sizes, and it will not look neat and might not be able to convey the message that we are trying to give.

Typography should be avoided

The idea of sending messages in the way of an icon text is not really a good idea. That is where the name comes in.  Think of it visually, brand logo constitutes of typefaces.  If possible, avoid putting names in the icon and focus more on the symbol instead.

Avoid Copying

If you are making an icon for a particular operating system, say for example iOS apps, you shouldn’t use UI elements of its operating system. It’s not good to confuse people with two similar kinds of icons on their home screen. Even in general sense, it’s always better not to copy any logo and fall into all the related problems as there is always a way to create something unique and new.

Imagination should be unleashed

A perfect yet simple icon requires imagination. It is not always a fact that simple is primitive. You can ask your mobile app developer to use their imagination and create something nice and simple.  It is not an easy job to create nice icons without any imagination.

One should be very careful when it comes to mobile app development, especially when you outsource mobile app development as it can be really annoying and frustration process if you do not hire right developers.
