Sonos S2 app icon on Mac

This is a very minor thing but given that it’s an icon that is always visible on the dock would be great to see addressed. The current Sonos S2 icon on Mac doesn’t fit in with the design aesthetic of the Apple ecosystem at all. It’s just an oversized square without rounded corners that in my opinion just doesn’t look very good. Here is what it looks like currently:

It’s also a bit weird because it doesn’t even seem to match the icon design used on the website and other apps. Here is what it looks like when referenced on the Sonos website:

Sonos speakers are sleek and cool. I think attention to other little design details in the app would fit better with the brand image.

It’s surprising to me that *eight months* (and several app updates) after this was posted, the icon still hasn’t been updated.

This probably seems like a trivial request (“Relax, it’s just an icon.”) but an icon is literally part of branding and therefore a reflection of an organization’s design priorities. Users interact with this icon whenever they want to access the application. We are literally being reminded daily that “Hey, this company doesn’t really care what the thing their users interact with most looks like.”

Eight months. Makes me ask myself other questions about Sonos. Makes me pay attention to a lot of other things that I might not because perhaps now I’m looking for it. I’m expecting it. Just throwing that out there.
