Epiphany icons look really bad

[marcinjahn]

Problem

The icons in eOS Epiphany look really bad:

Compare it with the "vanilla" Epiphany:

I think that it is clear which one looks better. Especially the "star" and "gear" icons break the "feel". The eOS version lacks consistency and "professional" look.

Proposal

The icons should be redesigned. Actually even using the "vanilla" version would already be a huge improvement.

Prior Art

Vanilla Epiphany:

macOS Safari, where the original UI comes from, also does it so much better.

Btw, I submitted a similar problem for the Mail app: elementary/mail#525

Not original, the only shared code we have with Safari is WebKit.

I know, I meant the the UI idea comes from Safari :)

Elementary uses colour and visual metaphors for its iconography. If you think that its too childish for you, I'm sure you'll enjoy the wacky sound effects macOS has.

Hey, I don't mean to offend anyone! It's just some honest feedback, I love elementary, I use it every day :)
I actually like those "wacky" sound effects, although I liked better the ones prior to Big Sur :D
