Feedback: The meaning of the Site Title block icon is not obvious

During a contributor day on February 5 2021, one of the tasks were to change and save the site title block in the site editor.

User feedback:
When you select the site title block that is already placed in the theme TT1 Blocks,
it is easy to mistake the block for a regular H1 heading block.

The H1 symbol is more prominent and easier to recognize than the “drop” icon that is representing the site title. It was not obvious that the block was the site title.

This feedback was given during user testing on April 9 as well:

Confusing icon - is very similarly to a ‘location’ icon in Google maps.

I wonder if the new text label on hover and focus is enough here?
I guess it doesn't help when you are only glancing over the blocks.

It's a tough icon to come up with, but anything would be better than that location pin, for sure. We've had the discussion a few times before, but I feel like even as a temporary fix using a "T" would already be much better, as it goes along with the icon for headings.
