Mobile: Android Adaptive Icon Slightly Misaligned

[simondemartini]

The Android app's adaptive icon is not centered when used in a circle. For example on my Google Pixel which uses the circle variation looks like:

I'm not a designer, but the top two corners of the shield icon look like they're too close to the edge of the circle frame. It would look better to me for the shield icon to be a little smaller and more centered so the spacing around it is even.

It is actually center aligned properly. What you're seeing is an illusion created by the shape of the icon, making it seem like it is off-center.

While it may be technically centered, I think we could compensate for that illusion of misalignment by either moving the shield down a little. Or we might be able to decrease the size of the shield so there is more padding between the top corners of the shield and the edges of the circle.

Here's a (very rough) idea of a lowered and slightly smaller shield to be more visually centered:

Thanks @simondemartini to bring up this issue. The visually aligned version looks indeed very nice.

I was showing the app to some people (I recently adopted it), and got some feedback about it "looking like malware" because of this _misalignment_.

If it's welcome, I'll do a PR to help with this.
