Basic Software For Designing Icons and Logos

Icon Plus – Icon & Logo Design is an application that has been developed by Day 1 Solutions to provide users with the means to create simple icons and logos. The software is primarily aimed at developers who need icons for apps they have created, but can also be used for more generic logo design purposes by businesses or individuals. It is less powerful than a fully-fledged graphics design application and is aimed at those with basic needs.

Easy to Use

The application has a clean user interface and is extremely easy to use, even for users with no experience with packages like Adobe Photoshop or GIMP. Although it is more shallow than those programs, users will be able to use the software to create an icon or logo in a matter of minutes. Options include the ability to import an existing image, add text, modify the background colors, change the border, and adjust the canvas size. Effects like blurring and color gradients can also be added easily.

Excellent Compatibility

One of the software’s biggest plus points is its excellent compatibility, with importing and exporting support for a large number of image formats. Meanwhile, the export function includes an ‘export as icon set’ option, which automatically exports the created image in all of the necessary icon sizes for an iOS or macOS app. While its limitations may frustrate experienced designers with advanced needs, Icon Plus is an excellent option for most users.
