Icons and convergence

 

I filed a bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/webbrowser-app/+bug/1505970 but I think it is a good topic of conversation as well.

The icons for various applications on the phone have been updated https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/webbrowser-app/+bug/1457424 they are all square icons, without using transparency, and universally look wrong on the Unity desktop in the dash and alt-tab switcher and on the launcher.

With Unity 8 for the desktop is this the expectation of what icons will look like going forward? On the phone these square icons are rendered oversize then cropped to an ubuntu shape (a roundrect), will this mess up all the existing desktop icons or work well with them?

Alan.
