  I agree, the modified `A` didn't turn out that well.

  I'm aware of that. I know Material Design uses different sizes for circles, squares and rectangles for that reason. Unfortunately, switching to that system means we would need to change many icons. I believe the reason why we use the system we use is because of horizontal text alignment, but I think that matters more for monochrome icons than color icons. On the other hand, nothing actually lines up with text in a way that stands out as lining up particularly well whether you choose 10, 11 or 12pt Noto Sans.
