The same philosophy works for mobile app market. In today\u2019s lethal competitive environment among app developers, no app can stand longer if it fails to capture the audience with a killer icon. An app icon is like the face of your app and if that face lacks the appeal then you have lost half the battle.<\/p>\n<p>Just like logo design, an attractive app icon creates charm, catches the eye and infuses interest in the audience. If you ask an expert <a href=\"http:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/what-makes-the-best-logos-so-good-2014-4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" class=\"broken_link\"><strong>what makes the best logos so good<\/strong><\/a> (icon in case of smartphone app) &#8211; be it Walmart, FedEx, NBC or Apple \u2013 one of the common responses you hear is, a good logo tells the story of the brand and makes it stand out of the crowd. Similarly, an app icon will create the right impression only if it sets itself apart from the rest.<\/p>\n<p>In a previous article, we discussed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/8-crucial-android-apps-for-designers-that-will-make-you-forget-apple\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>8 crucial Android apps for designers<\/strong><\/a> to rock the show and now considering the importance of app icons in this smartphone era, I am going to list 15 expert tips that will help newbie designers to create exquisite app icons. Here they are:<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mag-top\">1. Use Right Color Palette<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/youre-not-colorblind-improve-your-color-sense-now\/\">Colors add substance<\/a> to an app icon and bring out its true personality. Truly successful designers incorporate appropriate colors to attract their target audience.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Clear-App-Icon.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1707 pinthis lazyload\" title=\"Clear App Icon\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Clear-App-Icon.jpg\" alt=\"Clear App Icon\" width=\"250\" height=\"\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Clear-App-Icon.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Clear-App-Icon-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Clear-App-Icon-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Clear-App-Icon-75x75.jpg 75w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 500px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 500\/500;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>For example the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/clear-to-dos-reminders\/id493136154\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" class=\"broken_link\">Clear App<\/a><\/strong> comes in red, orange and yellow which signify energy. The colors relate to the idea of productivity, while the check sign gives a clean look to the icon.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mag-top\">2. Make It Apt for Different Screen Sizes<\/h2>\n<p>Scalability matters equally to the design as any other variable. Your app icon must look awesome on every screen size, whether it is smartphone, tablet or even a desktop PC. The pixel value of a standard icon is 57&#215;57. You can even scale it up if you use the toolkit of iPhone 4 icon.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ness-App-Icon.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1712 pinthis lazyload\" title=\"Ness App Icon\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ness-App-Icon.jpg\" alt=\"Ness App Icon\" width=\"250\" height=\"\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ness-App-Icon.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ness-App-Icon-150x125.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/250;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/likeness\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" class=\"broken_link\">Ness App<\/a><\/strong> icon is a perfect example of how an icon should look on different screens<strong><em>. <\/em><\/strong>It looks amazingly same on every screen size without losing its integrity. The heart gives a sense of personal touch while its colorful design suggests the variety of restaurants that it can search.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mag-top\">3. Be Thoughtful With Fonts<\/h2>\n<p>Fonts add substance to the brand image. The font of an app icon must go with the type of app you are creating it for and it should harmonize the overall personality.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Zillow-App-Icon.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1713 pinthis lazyload\" title=\"Zillow App Icon\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Zillow-App-Icon.jpg\" alt=\"Zillow App Icon\" width=\"250\" height=\"\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Zillow-App-Icon.jpg 390w, https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Zillow-App-Icon-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Zillow-App-Icon-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Zillow-App-Icon-75x75.jpg 75w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 390px) 100vw, 390px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 390px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 390\/390;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zillow.com\/android\/rentals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" class=\"broken_link\"><strong>Zillow Real Estate &amp; Rentals App<\/strong><\/a> has an icon which is a good example of using the right font style that complements service. It features a hut with a \u201cZ\u201d pattern which is the first letter of the name of the app.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mag-top\">4. Use Suggestive Elements<\/h2>\n<p>Your app icon should implicitly suggest the idea behind your app. It must put across in words, shapes or image the core philosophy of your app.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Fx-Cameras-App-Icon.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1714 pinthis lazyload\" title=\"Fx Cameras App Icon\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Fx-Cameras-App-Icon.jpg\" alt=\"Fx Cameras App Icon\" width=\"250\" height=\"\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Fx-Cameras-App-Icon.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Fx-Cameras-App-Icon-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Fx-Cameras-App-Icon-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Fx-Cameras-App-Icon-75x75.jpg 75w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 500px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 500\/500;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As an example, you can look at <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/fxcamera.en.uptodown.com\/android\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" class=\"broken_link\">Fx Camera\u2019s icon<\/a><\/strong> that uses the image of a camera lens which symbolizes the idea of this app.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mag-top\">5. Create a Matching Theme<\/h2>\n<p>All great app icons have one thing in common: they embody the theme and idea behind creation of the app. The design of your app icon should encompass the core idea that it was created for. If that idea lacks in your icon design, it cannot capture the target audience.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Google-Play-Music.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1715 pinthis lazyload\" title=\"Google Play Music\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Google-Play-Music.png\" alt=\"Google Play Music\" width=\"250\" height=\"\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 500px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 500\/500;\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/music\/listen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" class=\"broken_link\">Google Play Music<\/a><\/strong> is a quintessential personification of a music player icon that appropriately blends the idea of music in its design. The app makes you feel as if it is a playback button. The fusion of musical theme in its design makes the user fall in love with this beautiful app.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mag-top\">6. Remain Consistent With Design<\/h2>\n<p>Just like in a logo design, consistency plays a key role in creation of an app icon as well. Your icon must look uniform with the app\u2019s interface in terms of color selection, theme, design and shape. An inconsistent design will distract attention of the audience and they will lose interest in your product.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/76-Synthesizer-App-Icon.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1716 pinthis lazyload\" title=\"76 Synthesizer App Icon\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/76-Synthesizer-App-Icon.jpg\" alt=\"76 Synthesizer App Icon\" width=\"250\" height=\"\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/76-Synthesizer-App-Icon.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/76-Synthesizer-App-Icon-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/76-Synthesizer-App-Icon-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/76-Synthesizer-App-Icon-75x75.jpg 75w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 500px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 500\/500;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/76-synthesizer-ios.soft112.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" class=\"broken_link\">76 Synthesizer<\/a> <\/strong>app icon is known for its consistent design. The app features the black and golden color in its app icon which complements its interface that uses the same colors in the lead.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mag-top\">7. Make It Age-Appropriate<\/h2>\n<p>An app icon must integrate the graphic elements that make it a perfect fit for the age of its audience. It should include the imagery or color combinations that could attract a particular age group.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chatter-Pix-Kids-App-Icon.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1717 pinthis lazyload\" title=\"Chatter Pix Kids App Icon\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chatter-Pix-Kids-App-Icon.jpg\" alt=\"Chatter Pix Kids App Icon\" width=\"250\" height=\"\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chatter-Pix-Kids-App-Icon.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chatter-Pix-Kids-App-Icon-150x125.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/250;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.duckduckmoose.com\/educational-iphone-itouch-apps-for-kids\/chatterpix\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" class=\"broken_link\"><strong>Chatter Pix Kids<\/strong><\/a> is a good example of an icon that goes with the age of its users. The app is a tool to draw different cartoon characters and give them voice. The icon features a cartoon face with a duck which shows that it is meant for kids.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mag-top\">8. Insert an Element of Individuality<\/h2>\n<p>Your app icon must look unique in order to remain in the memory of your audience. Every time the viewer glance at your app icon on iTunes or Google Play, they must feel compelled to come back and know more about it.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Turnplay-App-Icon.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1718 pinthis lazyload\" title=\"Turnplay App Icon\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Turnplay-App-Icon.jpg\" alt=\"Turnplay App Icon\" width=\"250\" height=\"\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Turnplay-App-Icon.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Turnplay-App-Icon-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Turnplay-App-Icon-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Turnplay-App-Icon-75x75.jpg 75w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 500px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 500\/500;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Ramotion designed an icon for <a href=\"https:\/\/download.cnet.com\/turnplay\/3000-18502_4-75829361.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" class=\"broken_link\"><strong>Turnplay<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 it\u2019s based on the concept of vinyl record.

Make it Appealing<\/h2>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/photo-editor-by-aviary.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1719 pinthis lazyload\" title=\"Cinemagram App Icon\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/photo-editor-by-aviary.png\" alt=\"Cinemagram App Icon\" width=\"250\" height=\"\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 192px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 192\/192;\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Create automatic corrections to add Aesthetic value.

Isn&#8217;t it a wonderful mix?<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mag-top\">10. Infuse Creativity<\/h2>\n<p>Make your icon app stand out among others in the market. You can create a memorable app icon only if it stands as different in the list of others apps. Get creative with the layout and come up with a design that sets aside the unique aspects of your app.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Artua-Design-Agency-App-Icon.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1720 pinthis lazyload\" title=\"Artua Design Agency App Icon\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Artua-Design-Agency-App-Icon.jpg\" alt=\"Artua Design Agency App Icon\" width=\"250\" height=\"\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Artua-Design-Agency-App-Icon.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Artua-Design-Agency-App-Icon-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Artua-Design-Agency-App-Icon-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Artua-Design-Agency-App-Icon-75x75.jpg 75w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 500px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 500\/500;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>A good example of this would be the icon of Instagenius, designed by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.artua.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" class=\"broken_link\"><strong>Artua Design Agency<\/strong><\/a>. The design is symbolic of a smiling human face. The icon is fairly creative and it goes with the functionality of the app that focuses on photo-editing.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mag-top\">11. Bring out the Details<\/h2>\n<p>Detailing gives weight to the design of your app icon. A balanced detailing accentuates the beauty of your icon and takes everything behind in the design.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Convertbot-App-Icon.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1721 pinthis lazyload\" title=\"Convertbot App Icon\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Convertbot-App-Icon.jpg\" alt=\"Convertbot App Icon\" width=\"250\" height=\"\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Convertbot-App-Icon.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Convertbot-App-Icon-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Convertbot-App-Icon-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Convertbot-App-Icon-75x75.jpg 75w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 500px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 500\/500;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The icon of <a href=\"http:\/\/tapbots.com\/software\/convertbot\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" class=\"broken_link\"><strong>Convertbot<\/strong><\/a> gives you a good shot of what users can get from the app. The designer paid attention to the detailing aspects and created an icon that closely resembles the app interface. The grey gradients and shadows go with the theme of the interface, while the unit icons clearly define the purpose of the app.<\/p>\n<p>Remember: A successful icon design relies highly upon the effects of subtle details. Make sure it exists in your app icon.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mag-top\">12. Pay Attention to Clarity<\/h2>\n<p>Clarity is the essence of an appealing app icon. Overly complicated designs with too many images or graphic elements only confuse the viewer. If a viewer fails to clearly identify with your app icon, he will lose interest and will not bother to know more about it.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Things-App-Icon.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1722 pinthis lazyload\" title=\"Things App Icon\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Things-App-Icon.jpg\" alt=\"Things App Icon\" width=\"250\" height=\"\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Things-App-Icon.jpg 454w, https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Things-App-Icon-148x150.jpg 148w, https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Things-App-Icon-297x300.jpg 297w, https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Things-App-Icon-75x75.jpg 75w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 454px) 100vw, 454px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 454px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 454\/458;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The app icon of <a href=\"https:\/\/culturedcode.com\/things\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" class=\"broken_link\"><strong>Things App<\/strong><\/a> wins here.

Match the Icon\/App Suitability<\/h2>\n<p>The sales of your app will depend radically on the design of your app icon. As a newbie designer, you must understand that an icon is the identity of an app. Therefore, your app icon should aptly stand for the philosophy behind the creation of your app. If the audience cannot interpret that idea from your icon they will lose faith in the product.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Wii-U-News-App-Icon.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1723 pinthis lazyload\" title=\"Wii U News App Icon\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Wii-U-News-App-Icon.jpg\" alt=\"Wii U News App Icon\" width=\"250\" height=\"\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Wii-U-News-App-Icon.jpg 390w, https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Wii-U-News-App-Icon-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Wii-U-News-App-Icon-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Wii-U-News-App-Icon-75x75.jpg 75w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 390px) 100vw, 390px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 390px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 390\/390;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wii-u-news.en.uptodown.com\/android\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" class=\"broken_link\"><strong>Wii U News App<\/strong><\/a> uses the blue theme, which suggests reliability. This conforms to the functionality of this app which serves to provide the users with authentic and up-to-date news.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mag-top\">14. Create a Picture Perfect Shape<\/h2>\n<p>The shape of your app icon creates a visual effect on the viewers.
