Home Custom Icons - Icons and Images - iOS Human Interface Guidelines If your app includes tasks or modes that can’t be represented by a system icon, or if the system icons don’t match your app’s style, you can create your own icons. Create recognizable, highly-simplified designs. Too many details can make an icon confusing or unreadable. App icon Glyph Glyph (color applied) Design icons as glyphs.

Avoid including text in an icon. Don’t use replicas of Apple hardware products. Provide alternative text labels for icons. Custom Icon Sizes Above all, your app's icon family should be visually consistent in size.

we make apps Typecast - Public Demo | Design in the browser with web fonts and real content by Aral Balkan One of the iconic representations of the digital age is an image of the ubiquitous digital screen, stereotypically represented as a grid of brightly-lit pixels. This, like many of our other traditional perceptions of digital and interactive experiences, are either changing or being replaced altogether as we enter the post-PC era. These new devices are radically transforming what is possible in digital visual design and this has radical implications for digital typography. The death of the pixel leaves you with a flowing, magazine-quality canvas to design for. It wasn't too long ago that there was one set of rules for use of type on print and use of type on screen. Web sites are transforming from boring fields of Arial to embrace the gamut of typographical possibilities offered by web fonts. Emotional Typography Web fonts allow for a wider palette of typefaces which can provide far more quirkiness and personality. The challenge is to help people understand this.
