When it comes to building a successful mobile app, every detail matters — especially the app icon. At Jarbly Venture Labs, when we build an app, an app icon is often the first impression users get of thr product. It’s the small image that has a big impact, representing your brand on millions of devices worldwide.
An effective app icon needs to be catchy and recognizable, but not overwhelming. It must stand out across different phone backgrounds — whether light, dark, or vibrant — and still look clean and professional. Avoid cluttering it with too many words; a simple, strong symbol usually performs best.
Generally, icons that rely on images or bold symbols outperform those using text-heavy designs. If you don’t have an established brand, we can help create a compelling visual identity that your users will remember.
Precision matters. Here are the proper dimensions and technical requirements we adhere to for both iOS and Android apps:
