The macOS App Icon Book is a beautiful hardcover art book dedicated to preserving the craft of desktop app icon design. It brings together hundreds of icons created by designers and developers from around the world across more than a decade of the Mac.
The collection traces the evolution of icon design on one of the most influential visual platforms of our time—preserving remarkable work and inspiring what comes next.
“Throughout my career, app icon design has been both a recreational and a professional guiding light. This book is a love letter to all of the art that’s been produced for the Mac, a platform that’s shaped so much of today's visual design.” — Michael Flarup
Pair it with The iOS App Icon Book to explore app icon design across both of Apple’s defining platforms. In most markets, adding the second book does not increase the shipping rate.
“If you appreciate good design, I highly recommend picking up a copy of The macOS App Icon Book.” — MacStories
Ships from Denmark by DHL Express: about €30 to the US, UK and Australia, and roughly €22–35 within the EU. Both hardcovers travel in one parcel, so a second book adds nothing to shipping in most markets. Your exact rate is shown at checkout. Taxes or import fees may apply outside the EU. For Christmas delivery, order by 11 December (US, Canada, Australia, rest of world) or 14 December (EU, UK). Shipping details.
This is the first and only printing. There are no plans for a reprint.
