Starbucks Halloween Icon Pack
Halloween is so on! 🎃
This project transforms Starbucks’ app into a Halloween haven by redesigning key icons with spooky, playful twists. Inspired by Starbucks' signature style, each icon blends Halloween elements—like pumpkins, ghosts, and cauldrons—while preserving brand integrity. By following existing shapes, line thickness, and layouts, the icons remain familiar and functional, enhancing the user experience with a touch of seasonal magic.

Boo! Switch Halloween Mode On! 💀
The Final Spell
Working on this project was an absolute treat! As a UI/UX Designer with a passion for creative design, this was a fantastic opportunity to bring together my love for seasonal themes and my expertise in crafting user-centered visuals.
Halloween is one of my favorite themes to explore, and adding a playful, spooky twist to Starbucks’ interface was both exciting and rewarding. I hope this Halloween icon set brings as much joy and engagement to users as it brought me while creating it! 🎃👻

Thanks for sub, Kerim!
You did a great job here! I love what you did with the menu and the profile. One thing you should take into consideration is the QR code, which is inconsistent and cannot be seen in 24x24 px. Think about something clearer and simple
Great vibes only!
The icons keep the brand's style while adding festive Halloween fun. This adds great value and makes the user experience more engaging. Well done!
I liked your design process. It was interesting how exactly you redesigned the existing icons.
And I agree with some reviews that the icons have too subtle elements that make the perception a little bit worse. But you can easily improve these icons without losing the idea.
Way to go!
Well done with your submission for this contest, Kerim.
I particularly like the location icon and how the icons work in duotone mode.
However, I will consider reworking the QR code, notification and menu icons a little bit by getting rid of extra details. You can see those details get lost when viewed at smaller sizes.
Bonus points for the spooky Starbucks logo 💀
Loved the icons! They are so cute!! I was late to enter the Halloween challenge but I'm amazed at all the icons everyone made. Loved yours... <3
HI Kerim. I love the idea of switching from classic mode to a Halloween theme—it’s a thoughtful touch, especially given the app’s diverse user base. You could have gone even bolder with a fully reimagined UI to amplify the theme.
The reuse of classic icon details in the new set is clever, keeping them familiar. However, the style and consistency of the new icons could be improved. For example, the thin strokes in icons like “gift,” “QR code,” and “profile” feel unbalanced and unfinished. Consider reducing thin details and adjusting the stroke weight consistently to enhance cohesion.
The Starbucks logo is absolutely stunning! Best of luck in the competition!

Good job, Kerim! I can see the thought and care you put into each icon redesign—the meanings behind them and the different variants are really well done. I agree with other designers' feedback about working more on accessibility and simplifying some icons for different screen sizes. You may need to sacrifice certain details so they perform well in real-life. Overall, the vibe is great. Good luck with the contest!
Kerim, impressive work on blending Starbucks’ classic style with Halloween elements! The playful details, like pumpkins and cauldrons, bring a festive vibe without losing the brand’s identity. The icons are visually cohesive, but simplifying some, like the QR code, could enhance their readability at smaller sizes. Your creativity shines through, and this set definitely adds a unique, seasonal twist to the brand!
The logo redesign is awesome. It illustrates well the halloween theme while keeping original brand style.
You presented your design thoughts well. That is superb.
The Halloween festive button is well considered from cultural and diversity perspective given that Starbuck reach is global.
Two points to consider: 1. Could "Halloween color" be more prominent? 2. Any other alternative to create the spider net in the QR code making the icon style more consistent with the rest?
All in all, good work and good luck!
It's great to see how thoughtfully you considered the audience in your design process. I also appreciate the logical flow in how you've presented your approach—especially how you deconstructed existing icons, utilizing familiar shapes and lines in creative ways.
The QR code icon is an interesting concept, though it feels a bit visually busy. A few more iterations could help refine this further.
Here are a few suggestions:
One idea to explore might be designing a "web" or "spider" in the shape of a rounded square, rather than placing it inside one. Any visual hint that resembles a QR code while scanning might work well.
For the pumpkin icon, you might experiment with a solid orange version in the toggle. This could create a more natural look.
Given that this is a unique, seasonal set, a little rule-breaking could really add charm here!
