New Sage 50 program Icon

SUGGESTED

Not sure where else to complain and to bring support to my cause.  The new Sage 50 (2023) icon is horrible.  Windows uses a black task bar, why would any company use a black icon with a white dot as their program icon.  At quick glance I can't find the icon, now I actually have to look for the icon.  Maybe it will grow on me, but it just seems odd to make a black icon for a black taskbar.

Who agrees?

    Hi Mike-NS, 

    Thank you for the feedback. The branding change is unfortunate in the case of Windows users with a black taskbar. This change was done to be in line with the rest of our branding.


    If you do need to change the icon, you can replace the image used.

    Follow the steps below:
    1. Right-click the shortcut icon in your desktop.
    2. Select “Properties” from the dropdown menu.
    3. Click on “Shortcut,” then “Change Icon.”
    4. Choose the preferred icon from suggested or upload your own.
    5. Click on “Ok” to confirm and exit the settings menu.

    Hope this helps!

    Warm Regards, 
    Erzsi

    Erzsi,

    Thank you for the quick response although it is a little short-sighted (along with Sage).  It would be interesting to know what percentage of Sage users still use Windows as their main platform.  That being said, if Sage actually had any previous insight into this problem, they would have included the previous version(s) Sage 50 icons in with the current executable.

    I will probably just use an SAP or Quickbooks icon out of spite until Sage includes a better Windows platform icon in their executable.

    I like the icon in black, it shows up great on my white background on the task bar. 

    We will never get everyone to agree on what colour any icon should be as there are so many variables. When a company is designing for their logo, the colour of a task bar should be very low on their criteria as the task bars can be changed to suit each individual.
