Love it or hate it, Duolingo’s owl is one of the most famous mascots in the world of app icons. The modern logo reflects that perfectly, but it also references the topic since the lines might represent chemical bonds.Ī mascot app icon is a great way to build a connection with your target audience and give your design “more personality.” Of course, a mascot would ideally be present in your logo as well, which will help you build brand awareness.

Icons for apps professional#
Even though Slack is technically a professional chat app and could easily be represented by a simple speech bubble, the app icon, and company logo take a totally different approach. We have to mention this industry giant for several reasons. Take a look at some of these app icon ideas. That’s where a more abstract approach, using shapes and lines, can be pretty impressive. In the world of SaaS (software-as-a-service) businesses, it can sometimes be difficult to show with very literal symbols and imagery what an app is all about. Here’s another example of a chat app icon concept that makes clever use of color and simple speech bubble shapes. Purple and pink color schemes are very popular in the tech industry. Still, it does inspire a particular feeling (lightness, being carefree), which is what you’d want in an app like this. Perhaps the image itself doesn’t necessarily convey the app’s main functionality immediately. Flo stays similar to its competitors with the color choices (I’m sorry to say it’s yet another pinkish, coral, ladies) but opts for a sleek feather for its icon. Plenty of period tracking apps use hearts, leaves, and flowers, so it can be refreshing to see something different. The gradients in the background add an extra modern flair, which was later introduced to other icons of apps owned by Meta (formerly Facebook), such as Messenger. However, even though it’s just a simple outline, it’s still pretty easy to recognize the shape of the camera. More recently, Instagram successfully redesigned the icon fitting to more modern, minimalist aesthetics.
Those that remember the old days of Instagram (those sepia filters live forever in my heart) surely remember the “retro” app icon of a polaroid camera.
