Are you arguing just against change? Like things should remain the same if there's no technical reason to change them? 2 decades is quite a long time for something visual to remain the same.



“2 decades is quite a long time for something visual to remain the same.”

Which increases my chance of identifying the icon at a glance considerably, since most apps I use have either not existed for 20 years, or have had multiple logo changes in that time.

All this change just means I am effectively icon blind in most computing situations, which is a real annoyance and hindrance to productivity


You are free to change the icon back locally if it’s really that much of a hit to your productivity.


I was speaking a bit more generally; this is an additional straw added to an overburdened camel, if you care for an analogy.

That is something I could probably do in KDE, which I enjoy for it's configurability. Thank you for the kind suggestion


This is not something that most users can reasonably do, especially for mobile.


Yes. Change for the sake of change is bad.


The current logo was from 2018.
