Background

Glu Mobile decided to use Store Listing Experiments to see if different background colors in the game’s icon would affect installs. They found that a lighter background resulted in more installs.

What they did

Glu Mobile used a global store listing experiment in the Google Play Developer Console to test three different background colors in the game’s icon.

Results

The results showed that of three different color schemes — blue, light blue, and light red — an icon with a light blue background converted 2.9 percent more visitors than the original control icon.
