In remembrance of the old envelope icon

Old one was simple and clean.

New one… that looks like a bloodstain, or a squished tomato, not a seal.

Very much agree. The new one suggests very messy contents. Aren’t we tidier than this?

No. No, we’re not. ; )

I agree, I much prefer the older icon. The new one adds a lot of texture and visual details, which in theory sounds nice, but ends up being too visually busy for my taste.

I think the more detailed style would be fine as part of a big still-life painting, but in a tiny icon on a computer or phone screen, it ends up being much less legible-at-a-glance, I think.
