The thing about the first two is that yes they are very simple and clean, but it also makes them go unnoticed, especially if you consider that the new apple app store has a white background.
When you are new and unknown I assume you should chase the opposite effect, i.e., cause impact, get noticed.
- OWaz 13y agoAre you talking about the app going unnoticed on the phone? Or some other place where icons need to be distinguishable? So on my iPhone I only keep the apps I use and I know where they are. I don't download random apps so nothing really goes unnoticed. The only problem would be if an icon looked very similar to another icon. Only then would I not appreciate the design of the icon. On the first page of my home screen I have Chrome,Calendar,Gmail, Flickr and Safari all with white backgrounds. I also have Safari To Go, Facebook,Tweetbot,Trello and Mail with varying types of blue backgrounds. The logo/branding on each is unique enough for them to all look significantly different.
