Coldfront Icon

Initial Sketches

The cold front weather icon development began with exploring different ways to visually communicate a sudden change in weather. I focused on translating the characteristics of a cold front into a simple, recognizable symbol inspired by Apple’s clean and minimal design language.

Design Exploration & Comps

I experimented with different icon variations, refining shapes, proportions, and details to create a cohesive visual direction. I explored how to simplify weather-related imagery while maintaining clarity, consistency, and the recognizable aesthetic of Apple’s interface.

Final Designs

The final design translates the concept of a cold front into a clean, simplified weather icon. Using intentional shapes, balanced proportions, and minimal details, the icon reflects Apple’s approach to intuitive visual communication while remaining easily recognizable at different sizes.
