Abstract :Purpose- The purpose of this research is analyzing the effects of the icons that are used in the interfaces of mobile applications on the usage of these applications. Methodology- The icons are analyzed according to their abstraction, color usage, resolution and their adaptation with each other and checked if they’re affecting the understandability, readability, and globality of interface. Findings- Icons used in applications, which are distributed within application markets such as Google Play Store, IOS App Store and Windows Phone Store, were examined. Conclusion- It has been determined that the importance of using icons in mobile application interfaces design should be announced more clearly. It is considered that instructing students who study graphic design at universities away from the use of ready-made icons and towards icon design may contribute to efforts in this direction.Keywords : Icon, mobile interface, mobile application, graphic design
