1. Could you explain by showing a screenshot? All the icons should be
already updated. If you found old name somewhere, then sure you can
update it.
If you asked about a small K inside of icons, I removed them and sent
result to Cyrille long ago.

Summing up, no need to ask for artists except for maybe brainstorm
icon which was my quick attempt.

2. Regarding application logos - we have no logos and I don't know any
plans for them. Please note, logo != icon.

PS: (Also note that artists != icon engineer. The former may prepare
blurry blobs I learnt after years)
