I see, thanks for pointing that out.

Going on that theme, many people recognise that a down arrow pointing to a
line represents a download of some kind. Bundle that with the idea (common
among Android, Windows Phone, etc.) that a shopping bag means an app store,
and taking our icon and overlaying a "download arrow" over the current icon,
like this one?
