@mwichary this reminded me of a post from Louie Mantia years ago. I had to go find it because his example is still seared into my head
but i think it gets at this idea of designing app icons vs. logos (slash glyphs)
obviously a lot has changed since 2018, especially with all the customizations Apple now allows, but there's a lot to ponder in there

  Icons: they’re not logos. Use elements of your brand like color, shape, weight, and style, but resist the urge to just use your logo. Remember that on your customers’ home screens, your brand name is already underneath the icon. (You can hire me if you want. I’d love to help!)
