Tondo is a personal project that I started in 2015. It's an icon pack for Android that is
inspired by the Material Design guidelines, but has a unique twist - the icons are wrapped in
an iOS-like squircle shape.
I came up with the idea for Tondo after receiving positive feedback about my first icon pack, LollyDrop.
LollyDrop was also based on the Material Design guidelines, and I wanted to build on that success
with a new and unique icon pack.
To create the icons for Tondo, I used Adobe Illustrator and a base template that I had created
to make the process faster and more efficient. Over time, the squircle shape became more pronounced,
and the quality of the icons improved as my skills grew.
After taking a break from the Tondo project in 2016, I decided to restart it and begin working
on new icons. This time, I chose to use Figma as my design tool, which allowed me to work more
efficiently and quickly iterate on my designs.
Over the years, I've steadily expanded Tondo's iconset to include over 200 icons. This has required
a lot of hard work and dedication, but it's been a rewarding experience. I've been able to continue
developing my skills as a designer, and I'm proud of the final product.
