Elements of a good mobile app logo

Your logo design choices will have a significant impact on how good your logo looks in your app on your users’ mobile device screens.

Logos that work best for mobile apps tend to have:

  • High image quality/resolution.
  • Little or no text.
  • A simple design.
  • Identifiable even when small.

Conversely, logos that tend to render poorly have:

  • Low image quality/resolution.
  • A large number of text characters.
  • A complex design.
  • Degraded appearance at small file sizes.
Tip:
Your app will have a white background. We recommend using a logo image with a transparent background that will be visible when overlaid on the color white.
