I don't want to get into a beauty contest (I'd lose) but maybe we could add your icon as an option so you could switch to it.

Thanks very much for your efforts.

I have to be honest, I do like the way that new icon looks. You are a really good artist!

For sure I like the new icon, but it does not stand out like the current one. With the current icon, it's recognisable between 100 other media icons.

+1 for this one or another new styled icon.

Not only looking more '2022' but also cleaner when lined up amongst other icons within the tray.

Thanks for the compliments and, I actually agree that it is on the generic side. My instincts would be to start fresh and come up with a completely new icon that speaks more to the uniqueness of the JRiver brand, but I didn't want to stray too far from the current branding as users already visually know these shapes and colors.

I actually had created a number of variations before posting, several of which have the outer ring divided into four sectors. Here are some examples:

I ended up not choosing it because the icon's dividing lines did not scale as nicely as the other, but perhaps could be tweaked to look better as smaller sizes.

Here is another option that's more of a radical departure from the old icon:


Sorry for the black background- I'm not sure why some PNGs post here with correct transparency and others do not.

In any case, once there's consensus on direction (or you can have them all), I'm happy to send the art as SVG for JRiver to iconize or I can send an already made multi-resolution ICO file (can't attach certain file types here though, I tried).
