The release of @manton’s new notes app got me thinking about the icons for these different companion apps, and how they might look if they were designed to appear more like a family.

Too closely related? Possibly, but there’s something in this, I think.

@paulrobertlloyd Wow, these look fantastic. I need to think about it a little but pretty sure I love it. 🙂

@paulrobertlloyd Very clever. I like them. My initial thought is that it might be difficult to distinguish between them, but I am also thinking that with time I will just get the difference.

@paulrobertlloyd Wow, these look great. Really like the designs.

@paulrobertlloyd these are fantastic! True, they're really similar to each other at first sight, but as soon as you think about what each app does, it's impossible to forget which is which. Bravo!

@paulrobertlloyd Nice!

@paulrobertlloyd this is absolutely doing something for me.

@paulrobertlloyd Fantastic designs👏

@manton Thanks! I’m unsure if each icon needs an accent colour somewhere to help distinguish between them, and the Sunlit icon needs a little more refinement, but hopefully this demonstrates the idea of making these apps feel part of the greater whole.

@paulrobertlloyd Want to send me an email? I'd love to talk more about this.

@manton please make this happen! So nice!

@paulrobertlloyd great work!

@paulrobertlloyd @manton Wow. Just gorgeous!
