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
Shipping is calculated at checkout. Both hardcovers travel in one parcel, and in most markets they ship for the same price as one. Taxes or import fees may apply outside the EU.
This is the first and only printing. There are no plans for a reprint.
The macOS App Icon Book got funded in 40 minutes (!) and when the time ran out on the campaign clock it was 1121% over it's goal. We printed a sizeable first production run and are selling them as long as stock lasts.
