New App Icon

[sbgrizdan]

The new desktop app icon with version 5.12.0 is not good. On my windows taskbar, the icon looks like a blue circle. The "zoom" text on the icon is way too small to read. No distinguishing "zoom" character to the icon. The old one was better.

Can't agree more

Completely unfathomable … "Let's change our icon from a easily-recognized symbol, to a generic-color squircle containing a tiny bit of difficult-to-read text".  Wow, just … wow.

If the desire was to ensure the "Zoom" name is included, great - ADD it to the image on the icon (e.g. https://shpl.info/sites/default/files/styles/large/public/2021-07/ZoomLogo.png?itok=_YsYZGg9) . But don't drop the unique characteristics which help identify the app at a glance.

FWIW: The community has risen to the challenge over the past few years, and has made several alternative icons themselves which can be applied as you see fit - see, for example: https://www.reddit.com/r/MacOS/comments/lppg5t/for_the_guy_who_dont_like_the_zoom_icon_on_big/

One really finds it difficult to understand. It is hard to imagine there is anyone who would prefer the new one over the previous one. Why, Zoom?

The old version was better 😣

I don't know why Zoom changed it. The old logo was fine and easily recognizable. The new one is drab and uninteresting.
