For example, on iOS the app icon appears on the Home screen and throughout the system, such as in Settings, notifications, and search results, and in the App Store. For most purposes, an object shape in the foreground and a solid color or a pattern in the background (or vice versa) works just fine, but like in our example case, another layer of objects can be used if felt necessary too much stacking or usage of drop shadows will only complicate the icon’s design.Every app has a logo icon that represents it, and that icon typically appears in multiple places. The simpler any component in design is, the better and more reliably it usually works, and this holds true in graphic design too. While building a product icon, it’s always good practice to try and take an application’s purpose, distill it to its most abstract visual form, and represent that using simple geometry. Also, the two layers can be exported separately using the Export PNG Image panel for usage in Android Studio, and together for a Google Play icon. Mask can now be turned visible and tweaked with Edit paths by nodes (F2) to try and simulate different shape masks. If the app’s icon is ever dragged across a home screen, the clouds will cascade against a stationary sun! Result Turning Guidelines invisible and toggling Foreground and Background alternatively, the constituent layers of our weather app’s icon can be seen. I then group the circles appropriately by right-clicking on multiple objects and selecting Group, and run the drop shadow generator on the two final shapes I obtain in the end. Coming to Foreground, I draw a group of clouds around the sun by drawing circles from the circumferences of other circles, and give them all a fill color of EEEEEEFF.
