Abstract

Previous research on icons in human-computer interaction has always focused on usability and recognition efficiency, but few kinds of research on user cognition. This research aims to evaluate the relationship between icon aesthetics of different types of apps and user cognition. This study uses three types of App icons in the Huawei app store: text symbol icons, graphic icons, and image icons as examples. Through a questionnaire survey, aesthetic and cognition variables were assessed. The study confirmed that the aesthetic level of graphical icons is high, and the participant’s cognitive results of different icon types are different.
