ln-App lcons
Bounding box = 64x64 pixels
Squircle = 62x62 pixels
Container = 40x40 pixels. Pictograms NEVER exceed this!
Inner box = 32x32
Pictogram is centred and should be constructed to sit perfectly on
Strokes and strike-throughs = 3 pixel
Angle rotation for primary objects = 30 (+ -)
Negative space = 2 pixels
In-app icons
Strike-throughs
3 pixels thick
Rotated 30 from top-right to bottom-left
Pictograms made from strokes or containing strokes
3 (sometimes 4 pixels)
Stroke ends are fully circular
Negative space

45 30
For picIograms IhaI are Io be roIaIed, we
recommend using an angle oI 30.
AlIhough we would encourage Ihis Io be Iollowed
sIricIly wiIh sIrike-Ihroughs, we appreciaIe IhaI
some picIograms simply look beIIer roIaIed aI
anoIher value. 1he magniIying glass Ior Search is
a good example oI Ihis.
For exIra precision, we could also
consider aligning all "secondary" angled objecIs
Io a pre-dened angle ouIwiIh our sIandard
angle. 1he angle oI Ihe mounIain Iops lleII work
beIIer aI 45.
