This is the new JS Icon:

In small size, it's not legible/recognizable at all:

The previous one was much better:

Same for CJS and MJS:

I think we should revert those 2 PRs.

@MunifTanjim Well it's looking fine for me in Termux also in my PC

[MunifTanjim]

I guess it's terminal dependant.

It depends on the font size of your terminal. Naturally, if you are using a smaller font size, it will show a small icon, and vice versa for a bigger font size.

[MunifTanjim]

Also depends on how the terminal renders the font.

In either way, the new icon is not very recognizable in small size. The previous one was immediately recognizable.

Hmm ....Then we should revert this 2 PRs

I am leaning toward using 'official' icons as much as possible, mainly in order to avoid discussions which icon fits user's preferences best. @MunifTanjim obviously I am not having a go or disrespecting you and your concern here, it's just that this icon is what it is. Just my opinion.

[MunifTanjim]

Makes sense. No worries.

[gegoune]

Let's hear @alex-courtis' and @Akmadan23 opinions on this as well.

[alex-courtis]

Let's stick to the official icons.

If the official icon is not usable, it's something that should and very likely will be fixed in the font itself.

Closing off; we can revisit and raise upstream if it continues to be a problem.
