Beautifully Designed and Detailed iOS App Icons

When you’re designing an iPhone or iPad app, you’re undoubtedly going to have a lot of competition. And not just from the direct competitors who have launched a similar app to yours – you’ll also be competing for attention on the home screen of every iOS device out there. If you want your app to earn it’s place on the home screen, you’ll have to make the icon as beautiful and superbly crafted as the rest of the app.

There are many styles and techniques for creating an iOS app icon, ranging from ultra minimalist and simple, to intricately crafted and beautifully detailed. There’s a very fine balance between an aesthetically pleasing, detailed app icon and one that’s a bit too cluttered – so if you’re going the route of an icon with a lot of intricate details, make sure you keep that in mind. It’s incredibly challenging to put together a detail-packed but stunning iOS app icon – but when done properly, it can look fantastic and can be extraordinarily rewarding.
