A Closer Look

This project involved updating Samsung's system icons for their One UI 6 design system. Driven by user feedback and current design trends, I aimed to refresh the icons with a contemporary look while maintaining brand recognition and user familiarity. This meant carefully balancing modern aesthetics with Samsung's established design language.

Through research and iterative design, I created a refined icon style that incorporates subtle changes to the existing icons, ensuring they feel both fresh and familiar. The updated icons retain the core elements of Samsung's design system while introducing a more modern aesthetic. This approach ensures a consistent user experience and reinforces Samsung's commitment to design innovation. View the Figma file here.
