BYOP: Build your own pack

Icon Pack Studio

Staff pick

We're about to cover a lot of great icon packs, but I love Icon Pack Studio the best because it lets me make custom icon packs perfectly color-matched to my wallpaper or theme. Change the shapes, add textures, and then export and enjoy.

Color on the lines

Outline Icons

Outline goes beyond the monotone of simple white to bring bright, bold colors to its neon-reminiscent icons. Being a technicolor pack, this pack is a gem that shines against dark wallpapers, but can get lost in vibrant walls.

Shadows and circles

Lux Dark

Circular icon packs are some of the most popular, but Lux Dark shines a diamond in the rough. The bright, gradient-steeped color accents blend well with dark and colorful themes quite well.

Goes with everything

Whicons

If you only download one icon pack, make it Whicons! This free icon pack is simple, its icons are easy to identify, and Whicons goes with just about every dark and vivid wallpaper you can imagine.

Little white lines

Lines

Outline packs may take different thicknesses and sizes, but Lines remains my favorite. It's been around for a really, really long time — just look at that Settings icon! — but Lines always comes through when I need a wireframe pack.

Glassy gleam

Emptos

This glassy icon pack is as rare as it is beautiful. Transparent squircles give a look of consistency to your app drawer and home screen, but the white logo shapes within are still instantly identifiable.

Teardrops of darkness

Oscuro

Hex black teardrop icons cut through bright and dim wallpapers alike, but the shaded stencil logos within them allow some wallpaper details to show through, as seen on the YouTube and AC logos.

Little black icon pack

Zwart

Zwart is the yin to Whicon's yang, its evil twin, and deliciously dark standout. When light icons can't keep their definition against vivid wallpapers, Zwart stands bold and firm.

Matte black everything

Matte Black Icon Pack

There's almost nothing better than having as many matte black things as you can. Whether it's a tablet, phone, or anything else, and with the Matte Black Icon Pack, you can add another layer of awesome to your life.

Docked and locked

Ombre

Ombre is one of my favorite "shaped" icon packs. The bottom dock/bar is mostly plain, but for fitting icons, it transforms! The colors here are vivid enough to work with dark themes, even with the dark icon accents.

Pixel perfect

Pireo

Pireo keeps the layered look of the original 2016 Google Pixel's round icons alive and strong several years later. It favors white for its icon backgrounds a lot, but the small shadow keeps them distinguishable, even on pure white wallpapers.

$1 at Google Play

Flat and round

Elun

Elun also emulates some of the 2016 Pixel's style, but this pack is flatter, slicker, and far, far more colorful. Soft grays and vivid accent colors help it avoid an abundance of white, so icons like YouTube and the Dialer stand out more.

Material magic

Urmun

Urmun is a pack built upon Material Design, one that emphasizes bold logos and sharp color palettes. Shadows add depth to this diversely-shaped, 4,300+ icon-sporting pack, and details are emphasized expertly.

Touch of TouchWiz

ONE UI Icon Pack

A lot of icon packs emulate the Samsung look, but none do it with quite the style of the ONE UI Icon Pack. This wireframe pack's more than willing to bulk up with original logos when the outline look doesn't work, and I'm grateful for their discretion there.

Basic beauty

Minimalist

Out of the darkness and into the light, Minimalist tends to favor square icons with its sun-faded palette and flat, minimal feel. While these icons are beautiful, it can take a moment to tell which apps are which.

Magic rainbow rave

Unicorn

Unicorn very much matches the food craze that engulfed everything from cupcakes to donuts to Starbucks and beyond. Vivid pinks and purples contrast more muted blues and greens for a pack that's rave-ready, day or night.

Colorful gradients

Gateau

Gateau was initially made available for those in the jailbreak scene on iOS but was ported to Android. There are not too many icons as of yet, but we are hoping that the developer continues expanding the library. And the best part is that Gateau looks great on just about any wallpaper you want to use.

Any shape you want

Fluidity

Fluidity doesn't try to do too much in terms of the "theme" of the icons, as that's not the primary focus. Instead, the icon pack sports a few different icon shapes that adapt to every icon that is installed on your device. All of your icons will be uniform in shape, and some may have some unique designs.

Color in the lines

Crayon Icon Pack

Get the crayons out and start to color with the Crayon Icon Pack. There are almost 4,500 icons included, along with an integrated masking system, so there is some uniformity to your home screen setup even if there's not a dedicated icon. The pastel colors look great, especially if these are set to a pastel-themed wallpaper.

Vibrantly unique

ENIX

There's just something about having vibrant icons that can really brighten your day. ENIX aims to do just that with this "shapeless" and unique set of icons. All of your standard launchers are supported, along with some that you wouldn't expect like LG Home and others.

$2 at Google Play

Shapeless dual-tone

Duo Icon Pack

Duo Icon Pack is another option with a shapeless-design in mind, but these have a bit more vibrancy. Duo works with both light or dark wallpapers, so you can fit these into any theme you are trying to create. And with the included Dashboard, you'll be to send over any icon requests that you may need.
