Yeah, an app's icon is a part of its branding. It //should// look
distinctive, not generic. Ideally it communicates both its purpose ("I'm a text
editor!") as well as its identity ("I'm Kate!"). I think the problem with some
of these icons is that they on;y do the former, not the latter.
The fact that we have a consistent visual style for Breeze icons is already
something that builds the KDE brand. But that doesn't require that individual
app icons are generic-looking and lack identity for the apps themselves.
