Do your modal dialogs include the application icon?

Modal dialogs, sometimes loosely called popups, can feel disconnected from the rest of your application. Adding the icon from your product logo to the header ties the dialog back to your branding.

It's a small detail, but one that makes your application feel more polished and consistent.

Benefits of including your product icon

• Connects the dialog to the rest of the application
• Reassures users that the popup belongs to your product
• Keeps branding consistent across different screens
• Makes the interface feel more considered and polished

❌ Figure: Bad example - The dialog could belong to any application

Figure: The product icon immediately identifies the dialog as part of your application
