Daily UI #005 | App Icon

Design an app icon. What best represents the brand or product? Or is it incredibly unique? Does it look great at a distance and does it stand out when put on your home screen alongside other apps?

After watching the latest episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm, I decided to run with Gotta Go, which is a business idea Larry David has to relieve everyday solo workers for a few minutes so they can use they restroom.

Goal:
Design an app icon that looks good on many sizes and stands out upon the other sea of apps

By adding an icon that is catchy and stands out, it will increase its likeliness to get clicked, to get more usage.
