Custom icon design that stands out

99designs is the most trusted source for graphic design online. We invented design contests and have been growing and improving our platform ever since. We offer:

- Professional designers that are hand-vetted for quality
- Collaboration tools that make the design process easy
- Safe payment options for clients and designers

We promise you’ll get a completely custom logo design you’ll love, or we’ll give you your money back.

Lots of ideas! If you’re looking for inspiration, explore 99designs for fantastic examples of icons and buttons created by our design community.

Your custom icon design contest includes one winning icon or button. If you need a second icon for a different app or another button for a different item in a product family, you have a few options: you can award multiple winners, run a second contest, or you can start a 1-to-1 Project with your winning designer to create the additional assets.

Absolutely (and we love it when that happens)! When your button or icon design contest has finished, you can start a 1-to-1 Project with your winning designer.

We guarantee that you’ll get a great button or app icon at any pricing level, but our higher-priced packages give you more design options and better support.

We offer a 100% money-back guarantee within 60 days of payment on all Icon and Button Design Contests, except those with a guaranteed prize and those that have entered the Final Round. You can also call us anytime to help you rewrite your brief, reopen your project to ensure you get a good result and help you pick a winning design. Remember, if we refund your contest, you aren’t legally entitled to use any of the designs submitted to your contest.

Everything you need to move to development. Your app icon or button design will be uploaded in the correct file formats based on your stated needs. Typically this means a layered RGB Adobe Photoshop or Fireworks PNG file that’s ready to be uploaded.

In a design contest, designers from all over the world submit concepts unique to your brief. You choose finalists, give feedback to hone the designs and ultimately award your favorite icon as the winner. If ideation and seeing a variety of different design styles is important to you, we’d recommend a design contest.

On the other hand, if you have a clear idea of the style and direction you’d like to take with your icon design, or if you have a more complex design project, it’s best to start a project with a freelance designer.

Yes. If you have any specific images (like a logo) that need to be included in your icon or button design, please submit them to designers with your brief.

On 99designs, designers agree to upload only original artwork, so each designer owns the rights to their design submissions until you choose your contest’s winner. During the design handover stage, the designer agrees to transfer the rights, and you become the owner of the copyright of your winning button or icon design.

Choose “Make your contest private” from the Contest options section before you launch your icon or button design contest. This will prohibit designers from using their designs elsewhere, and your contest will be unsearchable on the web.

At 99designs, we’re dedicated to building the world’s largest community of talented, professional designers. Every designer must apply and be accepted to work on our platform. Designer applications are reviewed by human design experts, and accepted designers are classified as either Top, Mid or Entry-Level. At 99designs you can feel assured you’re working with an expert.
