Where and as what do you plan to use the icon?

The icon is intended for the Android app "Daytiko" — a journal for self-reflection and emotional relief. It will be the main app icon on the smartphone's home screen, so it should look recognizable, pleasant, and inspire trust.

What should be depicted on the icon?

We want to convey the feeling of a journal — a tool for personal notes, thoughts, and feelings. The icon should evoke associations with security, personal space, warmth, and support.
It would be great if the design leaves a positive emotional impression and looks "friendly" — preferably with cute or warm details.
You can also (but not necessarily) incorporate the app character — Daytiko (our friendly hero), who symbolizes support without judgment. For example, he can be looking into the journal or be beside it.

Should the icon contain text?

No, text on the icon is not needed.

Do you have a corporate style, logo?

The app has a corporate character — Daytiko. It is a virtual friend who is always nearby, listens, and supports. You can view the character's style and overall visual atmosphere on our website:
🔗 https://www.daytiko.com/

Is it necessary to use its color scheme, elements, fonts?

Yes. Please adhere to the existing color palette, visual elements, and overall artistic style to maintain brand consistency.


What should be the style of the icon? 

  • Volumetric

  • Artistic

  • Warm and pleasant to the eye

  • Important that it does not look template-like or overly technical


Are there requirements for the shape of the icon? 

  • Square with rounded corners

  • Round

  • Ideally — adaptive. But if not possible — it is desirable that the icon looks harmonious in a round shape (adding background if needed).


What size should the icon be?

512 x 512 px


Is there surrounding imagery or interface part of the icon?

Preferably, but not necessarily. If you have time/opportunity — we would be happy to see an icon version in the Android environment (for example, on the home screen).


Provide any additional information you consider important.

The icon should be recognizable even at small sizes. It is important that it makes an emotional impression — warmth, trust, intimacy, softness.
This is not just a utilitarian diary — it is a space where the user can talk to themselves and be heard.

P.S. so that the Play Market moderators do not even get a hint that it resembles competitors (especially during the first app moderation).

Update #1

UPDATE:

Pure icon from AI will not be accepted. AI can be used for ideas, etc.

The icon format (extension) should be in formats that can be edited if needed (for example, .psd .svg, Adobe Illustrator, etc.).

Without exceptions. Please do not spam icons generated by openAI, Sorry, and other generative LLM models.


Thank you very much.

You can peek here.


It is not necessarily required to use only the character from the site, this is just an "option".
