Feedback on new icon idea

[GoneMAD]

I get a lot of requests to change the GMMP icon and I do agree a new one needs to be done. I've been throwing around some ideas the last few months, but never did anything about it due to lack of time. I sat down an hour ago and drew something up pretty quick and would like to get some feedback. I wanted to do something much simpler.

First, I want to congratulate you for this awesome player, it is the best money I ever spent on Play Store. I am looking forward to the 1.5 version, especially for the tablet enhancements.
Now, regarding the icon, I agree it needs a revamp, on high resolution displays like the new Nexus 7 it looks kinda strange.
The new icon idea is nice, but maybe a little too much Legend of Zelda-like.

yea there isnt any images for the newer xxhdmi screen densities so its going to scale one of the other images which wouldnt look as good

haha yea.. a bit like a triforce.. im not an artist so i'll never come up with anything truly original.. but i wanted to do something other than the standard triangle in a circle or triangle in a rounded square like most other players have

The triforce is better than the current one and I perfectly understand you argument. Hey, it's just an icon, as long as the application is excellent, that's just a minor detail. And yes, GMMP is a fantastic application.

New icon looks great. It's simple, but elegant and differs from other players' icons.
