Most icons don’t fail because of tools.

They fail because of basics.

Simple rules that make a big difference

Good icons aren’t just visuals.

They improve how fast users understand your product.

Most icons look messy for one reason:
No system behind them.

Good icons follow simple design rules:
• Use a base grid

• Maintain safe space

• Build with consistent key shapes

• Keep stroke widths consistent

• Use the same corner radius

• Maintain consistent angles

Icons shouldn’t feel random.

They should feel like they belong to the same system.

That’s what makes interfaces look polished.

When Benji and I first started iterating on the icon for 40 Below he made one that I absolutely adore. I was sure I was going to use it for the final version, but he wisely talked me out of it; it didn't fit in with the aesthetic of iOS 26.

I still love it, though, and I kept it in the about screen and on the website. It's just too good not to see the light of day.

Wow, Google has discovered icon strokes! :)

The pendulum is finally swinging back from overly flat, illegible digital interfaces?
