I appreciate the difficulty in crafting a descriptive visual representation of a BT client, but IMHO an icon should at least be sufficiently unique so as to avoid mistaking it for other apps of completely unrelated purposes. That&#8217;s where Vuze&#8217;s frog for example is better (as long as you&#8217;re not into Frogger clones). I&#8217;ve been running Transmission whenever I&#8217;m logged in for years now, and I still occasionally wonder why I have a scanning app running, when in fact it&#8217;s just Transmission&#8217;s&#8230; I&#8217;m-not-sure-what-it-is.<\/p>\n<p>I realize this is not a very constructive argument so long as I don&#8217;t have anything better to suggest in the current icon&#8217;s place, but I promise I&#8217;ll start thinking of one right now and hopefully come up with ideas some day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s worse than just that the icon doesn&#8217;t convey the app&#8217;s purpose: it looks too like a scanner.
