It’s not every day we get to make a logo for a 175-year-old company like Hammacher Schlemmer.
Since 2015, Parakeet has drawn nearly 4000 glyphs for our clients.
For Apollo, the late great Reddit app, we made a few alternate app icons, like this emoji-styled one from 4 years ago.
Also five years ago, we made a couple more alternate app icons with rich visual detail for our friends at Halide.
Five years ago, we made some alternate app icons for one of our favorite apps, Deliveries.
🏛️ We’ve been making some really nice app icons lately. Here’s one we think you’ll like, for a database app called Base. And how about that dark mode version?
Happy 10th Anniversary, Parakeet.

⏸️ To focus on our brand new blog, we’re pausing Icon of the Day at this time. 128 seemed like a good number to rest on.
Thank you so much for exploring a sample of our portfolio wth us for the last 128 days.

Today is the 128th Icon of the Day! To celebrate such a nice, classic icon number, we’re celebrating with this really fun disco ball from the 285 glyphs we created for Patreon. It’s so abstracted from the actual object, yet still recognizable!
✍️What If We Had a Blog?
A little while ago, we crafted a full set of chess glyphs for Deep Green on iOS. Each one was meticulously drawn from its 3D model in the app, with special care to clearly indicate their relative hierarchy in the lineup.
We don’t get to draw a fingerprint icon too often. But for Dailymotion, we needed one for biometric settings. It’s more airy / less dense than typically seen in other apps to match the overall vibe of this set of 187 icons.
One of 56 emoji we created for the Playdate Developer Forum. Everyone needs a spa day, even Playdate. Kick back, pop in those cucumbers, and relax.
*Do not actually put cucumbers on your Playdate, probably. That might not be covered by the warranty.
The twelfth day of Christmas. A few years ago we created this app icon for theDrumDictionary, with a simple overhead glyph depicting a drum and a pair of drumsticks resting on a cheerful, playful, and colorful background.
The eleventh day of Christmas. Primaries is our stock icon set of 784 icons !⃝, available for only $100. In 2016, we added some instruments including this clarinet, which can also represent woodwinds as a whole.
The tenth day of Christmas. When we made 159 icons for Nike, we took many opportunities to tie metaphors back to the brand. For this glyph, we incorporated a basketball jersey as an alternate.
The ninth day of Christmas. For Messenger’s 331 icons, several were of people. Compositions included solo, as a pair, and in a group. In addition to gendered figures with hairstyles (like this feminine glyph), we also created a figure without hair.
The eighth day of Christmas. In 2023, Parakeet made 24 icons for a Weber accessory that would display glyphs at a smaller, fuzzier resolution. This cow was drawn with that in mind, simplifying shapes down to simple angles and a blockier form.
