I was about to make an issue asking for some changes to the mission center icon, when I found that there is already an older version of it that looks exactly how I want it to. My issues with the current one are that firstly, it doesn't resemble the official icon due to it's change in color, and secondly, the black-on-black color is less visually pleasing than the old one's contrast of black and white. This makes it hard for people new to the icon pack to find mission center, and when they do, they may be displeased by it's seemingly random color change.

I strongly prefer the new icon, personally. I find it much more visually appealing, and it looks great when placed next to the Terminal icon because of their shared color scheme.

Papirus also takes some creative liberties now and then to ensure a consistent art direction. See how Papirus removed the white exterior of Gnome's official System Monitor application, as seen in this comparison:

I respectfully oppose this change, but of course it'll be up to the Papirus team to make the final decision. I just figured I'd share my own opinion because I'd be disappointed to see it reverted.
