What icons and splash screens are required for a whitelabel branded application?
In order to submit a branded mobile application we will require a variety of images in the following resolutions.
Icons
We will require a single icon file in the size of 1024px X 1024px in .png or .jpg format (Max 2mb).
We recommend the following:
1. Use a vector image (IE: One that easily scales) as the dimensions will be automatically adjusted.
2. Avoid using text - if using text, ensure it is large and in the centre as text is generally unreadable in an icon. A symbol is usually best as your app name is written below anyway.
3. Keep it simple - don't cram lots of colors or images in to the app icon. Photographs of any kind are best to be avoided as these never appear well on mobile devices.
4. Avoid transparency - an app icon should be opaque. You may find that on different devices transparency is handled poorly, additionally, as users can customise their backgrounds you are at risk of your icon merging in with this.
5. Use vibrant colours - this means ensure it looks good on a variety of backgrounds. We generally advise to avoid blue as many apps use this colour and your app risks merging in with all the others.
Splash Screen
We will require a simple Splash Screen file in the size of 1280px X 1920px in.png or .jpg format (Max 2mb).
We recommend the following:
1. Use a simple colour and put your vector logo in the centre - splash screens are automatically adjusted by us and devices, and so a vector image is always recommended.
2. Avoid using text - a splash screen is generally only displayed for a few seconds, so your customer will not have time to read any text
Play Store Promotional Banner
We will require a single play store promotional banner in the size of 1024px X 500px in .png .jpg format (Max 2mb).
This image is used on mobile devices loading your application information screen.
IMPORTANT - Once an app has been submitted, we will be unable to change the app icons or splash screens without purchasing a new application as the application has to be re-compiled. It is VITAL you ensure your icon is correct the first time.
