Spice Up Your Gaia GPS App Icon with 14 New Designs in iOS

by Mary Cochenour March 31, 2021
written by Mary Cochenour

Spice up your Gaia GPS app icon with 14 new stylish icon options available in iOS. Select an app icon to match the season, reflect your mood, or show your community pride. With a tap on the screen, switch out the classic Gaia GPS icon and bring a little extra personality to your favorite backcountry navigation app.

Change Your Gaia GPS Icon to Match the Seasons, Celebrate Community, or Reflect Your Mood

You can update your app icon to mirror the change of the seasons. Choose the classic, evergreen-inspired icon for the blossoming spring months. Change to a fiery red icon for the heat of the summer. When fall colors arrive, switch to the orange and yellow icon to complement the changing leaves. Select the icy blue-toned icon for the depths of winter. The camouflaged-colored icon is a perfect addition for hunting season.

Show your LGBTQ Pride with the rainbow-enhanced LGBTQ Pride Flag icon. Select the Pan-African Flag icon with a red, black, and green motif to celebrate the Black community.

Choose a purple color-scheme for a groovy VaporWave style or make the classic Gaia GPS icon pop with a new 3D design. Tone the style down with grayscale options in the granite-colored icon or choose a “blackout” backdrop for a metallic look on top of jet black styling.

Get the Original, Start-Up Gaia GPS App Icons

Get the original, colorful Gaia GPS icon designs from 2009, 2012, and 2014. These artful, original designs harken back to the early days when Gaia GPS was just getting started.

Stick with the Classic Gaia GPS Icon

Of course, you can never go wrong by sticking with the classic Gaia GPS icon. Designed in 2016 by our creative director Nick Botner, the classic Gaia GPS icon mimics the shapes and hues of nature. Botner crafted the classic Gaia GPS icon in the shape of a towering mountain peak, backdropped behind layers of maps. He then painted the avatar in the deep, rich green palette of a mountain pine forest and brushed in bright green accents of freshly budding evergreen needles.

From hiking a quiet trail in your neighborhood to exploring overland routes deep off the grid, the classic Gaia GPS design logo symbolizes and inspires backcountry adventures of every kind.

How to Change Your Gaia GPS App Icon

Changing your Gaia GPS icon in the iOS app is simple. Open up the Gaia GPS in the iOS app. Tap the Settings icon in the lower, right side of the main screen. Select “Appearance” and “App Icon” to get to the list of icon styles. Tap any of the 14 icon designs to customize your Gaia GPS app icon.
