This study aims to explore the effect of morphological elements on the icon recognition in smart phone. 42 icons were first selected and classified in a morphological chart based on its visual design elements. Then, icons were evaluated by a group of respondents with or without design background through e-mail. Main findings include: 1) Some morphological elements may affect the recognition rates of icons. Icons imitating real objects and using conventional symbols are better in recognition rate. In contrast, some particular symbols may be difficult to recognize. 2) Gaps may still exist between designers and users. The result of this study shows that the un-answered rate of the respondents without design background is significantly higher than the ones with design background. This may suggests that gaps may still exist between designers and users. Therefore, it is recommended that a designer should bear user in mind when designing icons in order to minimize these gaps.
