The new icon for terminal emulators just aren't doing it for me. Just asking if they could be changed back, or at least if it could be voted on.

Archive & Terminal updated as single style with others icons.
Only on this icons used not scalable symbol. It's can be hard read for users with disabilities.

I agree the new terminal icon may help at lower resolutions, but it just doesn’t feel right - personally, it doesn’t feel like it fits into the theme as well as the first rendition (same with the new archive icon).

The text on the terminal just feels too “childish” and big if that makes sense, and now that I’m seeing the archive one it feels like it’s going for a more 3D or real-world look than it was before(not a fan personally).

Hope that helps with how I’m viewing the new icons

On a side note for a potential compromise (with the terminal icon anyway), maybe use the new text, but with the sizing and formatting of the first icon?

If you have template or example. Welcome))

I'm show examples, please see other icons and compare.

No. Initially size & formating was wrong. It's Paper idea style, but not our, because we not use one size symbol for all icons sizes... it's broken our concept & HIG

As compromise you can use old version... if you don't like updates
