## App icons

App icons create the first impression potential users get from your app. A well-designed icon can lead to more downloads by conveying the app's purpose and capturing users’ attention.

The app icon is displayed on:

1. App listing
2. App detail
3. Rocket.Chat sidebar

### Specs

**Dimensions**: 960x540px

**Format**: JPG, PNG (without transparency)

### Guidelines

Ensure that your app icon is unique by searching the Marketplace for existing apps with similar icons before designing it.

**Do** design a unique app icon that stands out from competitors.

**Don’t** design an app icon identical to the icon of an existing app.

**Do** use a simple and recognizable design that conveys the app's purpose.

**Do** follow the visual guides so the app icon can be read in different contexts.

**Don't** use a complicated or cluttered design that may be difficult to recognize or distinguish.

**Don't** include the name of your app inside the app icon.

**Don't** use transparent backgrounds, as the app icon may not have enough contrast to be properly displayed on different themes of Rocket.Chat.

**Do** use the visual guides to center your logo within the frame manually.

**Don't** automatically center your logo within the frame; its shapes may require manual adjustments to optimize its optical balance.
