With the rapid development of the Internet, application interface design has undergone rapid changes. Numerous new design styles and resources have appeared; thus, a large number of interface icon design needs have been generated. Icons are quite different from ordinary photographed images, because they are all drawn by designers and have certain schematic and artistic features. Moreover, artistic icons can convey their drawn characteristics and meanings faster and better than captured images. The ideation process in icon design is time-consuming, and its design style and method of drawing are influenced by the device and the environment in which it is used. To simplify the process of icon design and enrich the creativity of icon conception, this study proposes to use the generative adversarial network technology in deep learning to train computers to generate artistic icons. This paper completes the construction of the icon generation model with generative adversarial network (GAN) model combined with the actual icon design process. For the problem of automatic icon generation, this paper does the following research work: (1) based on the conditional classification generative adversarial network, a multifeature icon generation model (MFIGM) is proposed. In the discriminator, a multifeature identification module is added to optimize the structure of the conditional feature to ensure that the icon generated by the model meets the given conditional feature. (2) Experiments on the icon dataset show that the MFIGM-based icon generation model proposed in this paper has better performance in designing various feature expressions of icons.
