Abstract

Due to the rise of the app market, icon design is highly valuable to app marketing. Currently, with a wide range of icons in the main menu, users can not immediately identify their needed interface or function, thus encountering operational problems. In the past, almost all relevant studies mainly focused on visual recognizability and shape features of 2D icons, not on those of 3D icons. Therefore, this study probed comprehensively into the design elements of 2D and 3D icons. The design elements include icon composition, border, polarity, shade, and shadow. After that, the design elements of 2D and 3D icons were extracted which may serve as a practical and scholarly reference in the field of icon design in the future.
