Homeassistant: where to get the old icon? (lemmy.world)

Does anyone know of an icon pack for Android containing the old HA icon? That new atrocity appeared on my home screen after the update today.

Yeah, the new logo is terrible, only takes up 1/2 the icon. I'll just suck it up, personally, but I don't know how they thought this little icon is an improvement over the old one - it's not. In any way. Ah well...

It seems like work half done. I don't understand why they felt like it needed to be changed, the logo was nice and modern.

Most of the complaints seem to centre around it not looking at all like a house anymore. In fact some were referring to it as the "baseball home plate".

Another comment noted that the branching bears a striking resemblance to the USB logo.

The older simplified icon to my mind was perfect:

Not so much detail on the tree, but enough shape to still be recognisable as a house.
