More Detail

Additional details

  • The session separates the UI layer from the content layer: navigation and actions should feel native, while content is the strongest place to express brand.
  • Custom components can still feel at home on iOS when they preserve familiar sizing, placement, hierarchy, and interaction behavior.
  • Examples such as Slack and Moonlitt show brand expression through content, data visualization, illustration, and specialized views without replacing core system patterns.
  • Color and typography should support comprehension first; brand choices still need to work with contrast, Dynamic Type, and platform expectations.
  • Iconography works best when it reinforces meaning and remains recognizable at system sizes instead of prioritizing novelty.
