App icons

App iconography is inspired by one of the brand’s strongest signifiers: the colour bar. All icons should be visually consistent and appear part of a set.

App icons should only be used to represent the app, and should not be used as or in place of a logo.

Guiding principles

• Keep it simple
• Make it relevant to the app itself
• Consistency is key

Technical guidelines

• Use a 32-pixel (px) square grid as the canvas.
• Each icon should not go beyond 6 px from all edges.
• The continuous stroke or outline of the icon should be 2 px wide and evenly distributed into the four colour blocks from colour palette that has been used.
• Icons should look scaled evenly as a set. Depending on the overall proportion of the icon, carefully consider how it fills the content area.
• Use a black background.
• Cross-faculty icons should use the University colour palette.
