Now a days, mobile apps are increasingly in more demand. In
an effort to serve their customers better, many companies are showing more
interest in developing their own mobile applications.
After spending so many months working on your app, you may
have come up with a good app idea. And now it is time for giving a name and
icon for it. New mobile app developers think that this is the easiest part of the
iOS app development process, but experienced developers think choosing icon for
your app is not that much easy, why because they know how important an icon for
any app. Mobile app development companies in Illinois, Florida, Charlotte

Great app names and icons come from a wonderful inspiration.
In the most cases, in order to get it, hard work is must. Let’s see the dos and
don’ts that you should remember when choosing app name and icon:
NAME
Dos
Title in your app contains maximum 24 characters. If your
app title is in this range, it looks better when viewed in search results.
Make sure your interested name is not used before. Spend
time searching in the app store and avoid facing copyright issue.
Use the title that is simple, easy to remember and easy to
spell. Use the letters or words in the name that can be memorable. Think “Candy
Crush” or “Clash of Clean” like titles.
Don’ts
Don’t choose the name which is named nearly like popular apps
in the market. If you do that, most of the users think that you are trying to
cash in someone else's success.
Using any special characters. Including any characters like
number or a letter will throw your SEO results out and make it difficult for
users to find your app in the app store.
Title shouldn’t be strange. The title should be related to
your app core feature or functionality.
ICON
Dos
The icon should be simple. There is less space to fill the
content. Adding more elements will be difficult for users to understand it.
Transfer the color palette to your app icon, but limit it to
using only 2 or 3 colors.
Test your Icon on different background colors and textures.
Personalize it with maximum users’ phone.
Don’ts
Using any text. Your app icon is not the app’s title. So
avoid using text in icon.
Using a photo. Don’t use any photo to icon and even don’t
try a scaled-down photo to it. It looks cheaper when compared to competitors in
the app store
Stealing design elements from iOS. Don’t copy default icons
in iOS and design elements from iOS. Instead follow their design guidelines and
craft your own.
