Objective: To create an app icon that represents the application. The app icon is the visual element that guides the consumer’s eye to the application.
Solution: A simple graphic representing a car made sense for the icon that would represent the Carpool app. Created in adobe illustrator, the letters that spell ‘CAR’ are used to represent the windows on a vehicle and are also designed with silhouettes of passengers riding inside. The text was converted to outlines, so that the two letter o’s could be manipulated independently and edited to look like the tires on the car. Both the App icon and the app share the same color palette and font choices to display consistency between the two.
