This post introduces a custom Halloween-themed Apple Touch icon for ElementsofColdfusion.net, designed to match the fall season and holiday spirit. It reflects on the importance of adapting site visuals to seasonal moods and showcases the icon in action on an iPhone homescreen. The post also links to your evolving Design Progression and Evolution of Apple Touch Icons gallery, positioning the icon series as a âGoogle Doodleâ-style experience for mobile users.
Since Halloween is just around the corner, I have decided to change the look and feel of my site to match the Fall season of 2014. I think the look and feel of sites at times should match the seasons and holidays. So, I have decided to add my newest Halloween “Apple Touch,” or Smartphone Homescreen bookmark icon to my Design Progression and Evolution of Apple Touch Icons gallery! Click here to see Design progressions of my smartphone homescreen icons. I created the “Icon Gallery” as a new spin on a “Google Doodle” angle, but this time with icons that can configured by web site developers who want to do a new kind of “UI Novelty” involving adaptations for smartphone users.
I think that some of the better aspects of the Fall and general Holiday seasons is the ability to adapt the site visually to how I see fit. The bookmark icon also adds a bit of “novelty” to the overall user interface design and adds uniqueness.
