Thanks Craig, yes, I experimented with one like that too. The problem I was wrestling with is that I'm obliged to follow their branding to keep within what's allowed under their distribution policy, but their branding is so bland that it is essentially a colour, the 3 boxes don't really represent anything recognisable as their brand once the colour is gone. So I compromised with including the monochrome BBC logo so it could be themed, but with the orange splash underneath for the Material icon. This is similar to their Android BBC Sounds icon which is what I used for the standard LMS png icon. I've got no strong views on this, and happy to switch, but just as an aside (and I'm not an expert either!), I agree that Material "action" icons should be monochrome, but should (what are essentially) "app" icons be monochrome? I don't see that in Material themed apps elsewhere. e.g. the right side bar on Google Sheets or Google Docs to access embedded apps are represented by Material style colour app icons (for google calendar, Maps, contacts and add-ons etc). But anyway, I can see why you want to maintain the look, I'll have a think, maybe I should just use the monochrome "BBC" squares ?
