Imagine this: You pick up your phone, tap an app, and start scrolling. You do this every single day, probably without thinking twice. But here's the real question—if we took away the names and just showed you the icons, would you still know which app is which?
You might be confident. After all, these logos are everywhere—on your home screen, in ads, and even printed on random store signs. But some app icons look similar, and a few of them change their designs so often that they can catch you off guard.
This app icon trivia quiz is all about testing whether you really pay attention to the details or if you just rely on muscle memory to find your favorite apps. Let's see how well you do!
Why Do Some App Icons Look So Similar?
Ever noticed that a lot of social media icons are blue? Or that fintech apps tend to go for a bold, professional look? That's not a coincidence. App designers use color psychology and branding strategies to make their logos instantly recognizable.
Here are some common themes you might have picked up on:
- Blue means trust: Facebook, the former Twitter, PayPal, LinkedIn, and Telegram all use blue. Why? Because blue is associated with reliability and communication.
- Red for energy: YouTube, Pinterest, and Netflix all go for bold red icons that grab attention.
- Green for messaging: WhatsApp, WeChat, and the default Apple Messages app all use green, making them feel fresh and inviting.
- Black and white for simplicity: TikTok, X, and Threads keep it sleek with monochrome icons.
If you find yourself second-guessing an app logo in this quiz, think about its purpose—sometimes, that's enough to help you make an educated guess!
