Maybe make it more smooth and round?

@pewpew,  
What exactly is the issue you’re referring to/ Looks just fine to me.

I guess @pewpew may have been referring to the icon feeling foreign on MacOS since most other apps have either round or rectangular icons. This bugs me a lot as well (but I’m kind of a perfectionist).

Here’s my Dock for example:

I also agree the Brave icon looks ugly, compare to all other browsers out there it’s by far the worst design. It’s such a shame. Personally I use another icon instead of the original.

This thread made me laugh. Icon is fine for me, although maybe the [crypto.com](http://crypto.com) lion icon is bit better.

Personally I think that Brave the best icon browser…It is an original idea…And not just some colours…It is like the icon from Firefox…there is a fox and here is a lion 😉  
Do not change it

The original Brave icon looks great.

The real problem is that Brave icon just now did change to Apple-suggested weird rounded whatever with tiny icon inside. Now this IS ugly,

I hope the original icon - which is great - will be restored. I also posted a separate request.

P.S. If Brave developers just have to follow the suggested shape while keeping an impressive icon, then this would be much better:
