I've been designing this set of iOS 14 icons during my spare time, when I haven't been working on my startup, Supernotes [1].
It started out as a passionate project, where I challenged myself to see how far I could stretch the customisation of iOS. Squircles have been the default iOS shape for over 13 years and I wanted to change that. Using a neat trick, matching the iOS wallpaper with the outer background of the app icon, I was able to modify the default icon shape into these playful rectangles.
I originally intended just to make a few icons, but then one lead to another and another, and then over 120 – with more in the works! So I have decided to release this properly as a full pack, including instructions, icons and wallpapers for all iOS 14 devices.
