The macOS App Icon Book<\/em> is a beautiful artbook dedicated to preserving the craft of app icon design. It’s a vibrant journey through the art of desktop app iconography for macOS. The book features hundreds of icons created by designers and developers from around the world over the course of more than a decade.<\/p>

The icons in the book showcase conceptual and executional excellence in icon design and create a tapestry that tells the story of visual design on one of the most influential platforms of our time. It is both a source of inspiration and a historical archive, inspiring new work and preserving old icons for future generations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’ve backed the kickstarter and contributed some icons from the history of my apps, including an unreleased SpamSieve icon. They are still accepting icon submissions<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n
