Application Icons
Description
Application icons are product-specific icons that appear on the user’s desktop and serve as the primary access point for the application. These templates may also be used for mobile app icons.
When to Use
- Application icons are used on desktop displays and mobile device home screens to provide access to the application.
When Not to Use
- Do not use an application icon anywhere within the application itself. Application icons only serve as an entry point into the application.
App Icon Anatomy
- The main white icon is 12X (1200%) scaled icon that can be selected from the full set of Spark Icons . Simply choose solid icon you want to represent the application and place in the PSD Document as a Smart Object within the guides. Copy the layer style from the template and apply to the imported icon.
- Stroke on the outside ensures visibility on all desktop backgrounds light and dark. 12 px radius at 512 size allows for scalability and visibility at smaller sizes.
- Similar to the stroke, the 48px radius on the corners allows for scalability and visibility at the smaller sizes while aligning visual styling with already created buttons pattern from the Spark Library.
- Accent aligns with corner and inner radius of the icon to form the 24 degree Sabre brand angle. This allows for there to me a minor overlap between icon and angle while adhering to Sabre Brand Standards.
- Notice the icon is slightly offset from the absolute center of the launch icon, 24px to be exact. Icon to be visually centered in the application icon.
