5 years ago The problem was the .icns file still had the old logo. And in fact, if you found the app in the Applications folder or placed it permanently on your dock, you'd see the same old logo. The .icns file got replaced with the new logo dynamically at runtime during startup.
This has been fixed in the 0.10 rebase by regenerating the .icns file using the .png logo. This fix still needs to be back ported to the 0.9 branch.
I've noticed that when launching the Qt client on macOS, the old "interlocked-F" design by Aaron Blumenshine briefly shows up as the icon of the application on the launch bar for about a second, before being replaced by the new Arctic Tern design.
Obviously we still have the old logo persisting around somewhere in the branding patches, and it needs to be found and replaced with the new logo to prevent this issue on startup.
