I really like Sage's original icon better than the modified one.
I believe it's unfair to deprive us from such a nice icon design just because a fraction of players have issues with it.
In order to make everyone happy the game's Dev Team should implement an option that allows us to choose which icon we want to see while playing.
Make the new one the default icon but let us change it back to the original one, this way everyone can be happy with their game experience.
I would agree with this except it was mentioned it gets used in the marketing material and no option can prevent that.
The icon isn't that different either. It's exactly the same except it fills and removes the holes so they look more like arrows.
Your reasoning is halfway true, that icon you call concept would have been used in the final release if no one had complained about it.
My suggestion is logical, harms no one and benefits us all.
Implementing an option to choose which Sage icon we want to use should be a really simple thing for the Dev Team, they could add the option through commands in the chat box even, I don't see any reason why they couldn't do it.
