Design Language

The SAP Fiori for iOS icon library combines our Fiori design language with visual patterns from the iOS icon library. This allows us to have a robust collection that offers the familiarity, accessibility, and cohesiveness SAP customers expect from native iOS apps.

These principles define our icons:

• Simple
• Coherent
• Modern
• Delightful

By designed based on these principles, we ensure our icons communicate efficiently, form a cohesive collection, and look beautiful.

SAP Fiori for iOS Icons

SAP Fiori for iOS icons are organized as icon sets based on their function, size, and placement within an app. The following sets are currently in our icon library.

Launch Icons

Launch icons play an essential role in making our SAP customer apps look beautiful. That said, they should clearly communicate to the user the app’s main purpose. Launch icons may follow the SAP Fiori for iOS branding guidelines or they may be themed using the customer’s own branding. Launch icons are found in the app store, on the home screen, in system settings, and in search results.

KPI Icons

KPI icons are 32px icons that represent a measurable value and function as a visual identifier when placed next to a numeric KPI value.

System Icons

System icons are 28px icons that cover a majority of tasks needed by our customers. System icons are used in the navigation bar, toolbar, and tab bar, as well as within individual components.

App Icons

App icons are 28px icons that represent app-specific tasks covering SAP customers’ unique use cases. Like system icons, app icons are used in the navigation bar, toolbar, and tab bar, as well as within individual components.

Doctype Icons

Doctype icons are 28px icons that represent a type of file when a preview or image is unavailable. Doctype icons are found within the attachment item.

Map Icons

Map icons are 20px icons (40px when selected) that represent a business object’s location on a map. These icons are placed within the map marker.

Indicators

Indicators are 16px icons that denote the priority, attribute, or status of a business object. Indicators are found within the object cell and header components.

Icon Requests

As part of the new SAP Fiori for iOS icon library, we want to better organize the process of requesting icons. To propose an icon concept, please provide the following information:

• app name
• icon name
• size
• screenshot of placement
• description of icon use case

Once we review the use case, we may validate the use of an icon or may offer other recommendations. You can request icons by sending this information to SAP Fiori for iOS icons.
