Of all the things to worry about, this is probably near the bottom of the list but it does add some microfriction because I think the icon is ugly every time I click or tap it.

Anyone get a sort of repulsive reaction to this? I'm getting a feeling similar to how people get repulsed by groups of holes in nature. Feels alien or insect-like to me.

This icon was fantastic and Apple has even returned to these colourful waves in the '27 OS cycle.

In fact, Siri in iOS gives us a hint to where this should go, an Apple Rainbow wave in a glass container.

The resemblance to the Sony Ericsson logo is uncanny.

Probably not so coincidentally, when Sony-Ericsson came out with a flattened, simplified version of this logo, it triggered a similar trypophobic response in the 90s early 2000s. This version of the logo was thankfully very short lived.

I really hope Apple reconsiders the icon because for whatever reason, it's one of the only apps that you cannot change its icon in macOS.

I'm submitting a feature request ticket. Feel free to join me if you feel the same.

Let's hear your thoughts.
