New Logos Icon
with the release of Logos 5.0a, the also have a new Logos icon. To be honest, I strongly prefer the old one. This one looks older and it seems to have less pixels.
I like the idea of a new icon, but not this one

I agree. It feels like change for change's sake..

The new Logos 5 icon.
Yes, this has been commented on in several threads concerning L5. I think it could be a pretty nice icon with some touch-up and devoted time. It appears as though they have taken the old L4 icon, and just removed a layer or colored a layer white. If Logos will just reverse the colors of the original without changing resolution or size, it just may be pretty good.

Depending on your platform, you can use a custom icon of your preference. I've made some in the past and it's really not that hard to substitute an alternative icon including the old L4 icon.

I agree. Actually, Logos has an alternative right in the same directory as the new one, however, don't consider it. [:)]
I, myself, may play around with the original a little and completely reverse the colors, but it is much better to have an actual Logos accepted icon.

I too prefer the old one.
EDIT: Incidentally, I just notice they are still using the old L4 logo on their Twitter account. Shh! Nobody tell them.

I have the old icon pinned to the taskbar. It still functions as it should. However the icon in the start menu is the new flavor.

That didn't work. I'll have to get the images the long drawn out way.

They are actually "shortcuts" (pointers to an application) as opposed to the icon for the application itself.
On my taskbar I have the icon shown below:
The "whiter" icon appears in other places as well!

The old L4 icon for the PC was much better, but the new one has potential. The Mac one does look much better than both PC icons (L4 and L5). This probably has a lot to do with the Mac's roots (designed for graphics). [:)]

what about this icon?
2 Peter 3:18 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.

These are much better depictions of the true PC icons. I had problems with obtaining them using the snippet tool.

Why would the shortcut be any different than the icon for the application?

To indicate that it is a link to the application as opposed to the application itself.
When I install an application into Windows the software is placed in its destination folders including an icon to invoke the application.
If I want to access the application from somewhere else - such as an icon on my desktop - I create a shortcut to it. These, by default, have the arrows as shown to signify their role.
One can delete a shortcut without impacting the application, deleting the application itself can cause some problems!

Yes… but don't shortcuts have a little shortcut icon attached to them anyway? Why not use the regular icon?

They are using the regular icon - but changed for L5.
As Erwin mentioned he had difficulty in capturing images of his so I just uploaded mine for comparison.

The new icon is an epic fail for me. Please review this and maybe do some UAT with a few different options.

Not only does the older remain in the taskbar, but it seems to have stayed the same in the button bar of my copy of Total Commander. It would also appear to be whatever you want it to be in another launch program.
The new icon in Windows is much more like what seems to be popular in Windows 8. Doesn't bother me, but it's not nearly as good as it could be for such a great program.

My icon changed on the task bar and the desktop shortcut. Also, in my application file I don't see any kind of an alternate icon. I know that I am in the minority but I actually like it.

The alternate icon is located through the "Change Icon" button. On W7, this facility looks like this.
This is what appears when the "Change Icon..." button is pressed.

You're welcome Rick. I am happy that I am able to help. [:)]

I went to "previous versions" and reverted my desktop icon back to the classic one. We'll see if I have to do that every time there is an update to L5 or if it was a one time change.
