The good news for existing and potential users of the browser is that no final decision on a new icon has yet been taken. Like I said earlier: not an easy balance to strike. QupZilla needs to make a statement with any new design, but not stray too far from colloquial metaphors or symbolism. It ticks all the right signifiers: an ice-blue globe (shorthand for ‘internet’ and why most web-browser icons tend to be round) in front of a dynamic starburst (visual shorthand for ‘speed, power’, etc).Ī quick google for a ‘generic browser logo’ presents a sea of similar iconography. QupZilla has a decent logo - on paper at least. It should also be distinct and recognisable. Don’t believe me? Ask yourself how often you scroll past apps with bad icons in the App Store or Google Play!īut looking well designed and being well designed are not the same thing.Ī decent app icon should convey the purpose of the app from the moment you see it.
An icon is, in effect, a statement as much as it is an identity.Ī low-res, badly designed icon with no thought behind tells the user that they’re getting a low-res, badly designed app knocked together quickly.

Good app icons can dramatically change the way people feel about the software it represents. But are these drafts the right fit for QupZilla? A Bad Icon Is A Bug
