Your app\/product is identified by its logo. It shows up on many places like store, device home screen, lock screen, app tiles and in the app itself. Putting effort and time in designing app logo<\/a> is important since a strong logo design results in an equally strong branding<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While submitting your app, you may need to include several versions of your app logo to support different sizes and screen resolutions. Scaling up or down your app logo to fit different sizes may make it lose its clarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why use Vector graphics?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Images can be represented in two ways \u2014 Raster graphics and Vector graphics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Raster graphics<\/strong>, images are represented as arrays of pixels and thus they scale with loss of clarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Vector graphics<\/strong>, geometrical objects inclusive of points, lines, curves, circles or other shapes are used to form an image based on mathematical expressions. Therefore vector-based images can be scaled indefinitely<\/strong> without degrading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using a vector graphics editor, you can also export images to raster graphics like PNG at different resolutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Free Vector Graphics Editors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Inkscape is a professional vector graphics editor available for Windows, Mac OS X as well as Linux. It’s open source software licensed under the GPL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And whenever I need to design app icons, logos or vector graphic assets, I always turn to Inkscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
