There are some key things about developing logos for apps! and this is one of my favorite blogs on this very subject.

Your app logo is the impression you give people of your app the first time they find it, and every time they launch it so check out How to make an app logo that doesn’t suck from https://dwcares.com/one-does-not-simply-app-logo/ In this post, the author walks you through creating an app logo from beginning to end for a fictional app.
