Best new icon packs for Android (January 2017)

In case you've been around long enough, you've surely noticed that we here at PhoneArena are suckers for outstanding Android icon packs. There's just something extremely alluring to a well-made icon pack as it just makes everything fall into place.

With Google Play seeping from the cracks with new icon packs every week or so, we've taken upon ourselves to separate the wheat from the chaff and highlight the notable new icon packs that grace Android. Oh, and by the way, you can now use custom icon packs with Android launcher, even stock ones - here's how.

Here's what notable new icon packs have hit the Play Store in the past two weeks, give or take.

Ombre
Download ($0.99)

If we had to pick one icon pack to accompany us on a deserted tropical island for a year, Ombre wouldn't have been our top pick but we would have definitely considered getting that one! Carrying some 3,000 icons of nicely designed multi-layer icons aboard, Ombre is one of those packs that set themselves apart in an unobtrusive way and has the uncanny ability to really make your home screen "pop up". Pair it with a matching wallpaper—there are 50 of those included in Ombre—and you're in for a good time!
