This use of skeuomorphism instantly grabs the attention of people who know of, or have used carbon fiber, such as car enthusiasts (aka this app’s target audience). The app icon looks as though it is made out of carbon-fiber (a strong and lightweight material used in expensive modern cars). Take for example Kar Page, an app for car enthusiasts. Depending on your audience, it’s a style well worth considering. While some might say it feels fake, others find comfort and familiarity in its material emulation. Skeuomorphism is a trend that has come and gone over the years.
