Today's Budget App Icon

Overview

I had the opportunity to design the app icon for Today's Budget, a finance app that makes saving fun and engaging. The goal was to create a visually appealing and recognizable icon that conveys the app’s core concept: money management in an intuitive and enjoyable way.

Design Approach

Concept

I focused on the idea of a piggy bank—a universally recognized symbol of saving money. The icon needed to feel modern, friendly, and inviting, while also standing out in the App Store.

Style & Aesthetics

Simplicity & Clarity: A minimal yet effective piggy bank illustration.
Color Psychology: A vibrant pink-to-purple gradient for warmth and engagement, paired with a dark background for contrast.
Playful Elements: The addition of a golden coin reinforces the savings concept and adds dynamism.

Iterations & Refinement

I explored multiple variations, experimenting with: ✔ Different piggy bank styles (flat, skeuomorphic, geometric) ✔ Color schemes (pink, green, brown) ✔ Background treatments (light, dark, neutral)
Through these iterations, I refined the final version to achieve the perfect balance between brand identity, visual appeal, and usability.

Final Outcome

The final design delivers: - A bold and recognizable icon - Easy scalability (works well at different sizes) - A fun and engaging visual identity aligned with the app’s mission
You can check out the app on the App Store.
