  • Ugh, tinypic? Really? At least use imgur... Pretty sure they just made the icon like that. Also, this is an off-topic question. – admdrew Nov 15 '13 at 23:01
  • sorry for tinypic , http://imgur.com/2TKNbRt that is not part of icon, i said it is in the app name that displayed on phone. – Aqeel iqbal Nov 15 '13 at 23:16

  • thanks for the answer :) can i make any character of my own (may be stupid thing to ask but curious) – Aqeel iqbal Nov 15 '13 at 23:21
  • You could, if you are using your own font. But the font for the Springboard icons is chosen by Apple. – oefe Nov 15 '13 at 23:37
