 From a usability point of view the old black konsole icon was the best:

* very simple (just as icons *should* be)
* only one element on it (IIRC)
* easy to remember
* easy to distinguish
* easy to find

Maybe the artists amongst us didn't like it. The new one is "nicer", but
not usable at all (in the context of the other blue ocean of icons).
