Icons - Because they're awesome

I'm back!  With some icons this time as well!  I keep looking at my Android phone thinking about how I could develop my own.  I guess it inspired me to make some of my own set for different purposes.

Here's a compass I made in Adobe Illustrator using various gradients, and I must admit I'm very proud of this one. A compass would definitely come in handy for someone as directionally challenged like me.   You can see why I made a compass first!  I vectored random shapes in the background to make it look like a map.  It was much better than leaving it a plain blue.


Next up we have music and videos, because most phones nowadays have these options.  The video one is rather straightforward, but I wanted to have fun with the music icon.  I gave the note a set of headphones because it made it more fun!

Finally we have a map.  There isn't much for me to say except I'm extremely grateful phones have map applications.  They tend to be lifesavers for people like me, so I wanted to make a map icon with the other three.


And there you have it!

Developed in: Adobe Illustrator
