Sometimes I think about the Delta app icon debacle where Adobe got all up in their stuff and threatened them, and instead of closing the gap to form a full actual Greek delta (Δ), they cut half of it off and tilted it, making a more complicated mark.
The answer was right in front of them, and it’d be a great option to make the icon an actual typographic delta because doing so is harder for any company to claim ownership of while also looking nice.
