well, I think customizing icons is a fine thing, as long as you only
customize things like folder icons or some arrows or buttons or
something like that.

But logos? No, I think that's wrong.

Why?

Because logos are "trademarks". The app developers probably put a lot
of thought and work into making their logos and they probably were
striving for recognizability and identiy and so on.

Now, look at your Audacious or Sylpheed or Thunar logos for example
(just three examples). They are completely different from the original
logo. You kinda damage the recognizability and identity with that.

And that's what I do not like. I would like the application to have
their original logos.
