app icon
The creation of the app icon was the starting point, based on the current brand and the concept for the icon system to be developed (pixel-style icons).
For the pixelated style, a 24×24 grid within a 48x48px canvas was defined. Other grids were tested, but this one offered the best balance of legibility and versatility for icon construction.
To achieve the “mini-LED” effect, the grid had to be further divided and the icons redesigned — each square of the original grid was split into a 6×6, effectively turning each “pixel” into 4×4 blocks, leaving space between the “LEDs”.
general icons and icons by game type
General icons were designed for the app, along with a dedicated icon for each of the main game categories.
ui simulation
Inspired by the “mini-LED” concept, the entire app was designed around this visual language. From the background to the icons, the aim is to evoke the aesthetic of tiny illuminated LEDs.
