Terminal: Icon tweak: `>' is in two parts - connect it and fold it?

[mikemaccana]

Summary of the new feature/enhancement

After the new icon was announced on twitter with the '>' character in two parts...

Quite a few people liked a suggestion to connect the '>' character, maybe like the vscode icon:

Smallfox mocked up this, which looks better:

Or, with a more realistic curve:

@cinnamon-msft what do you think?

I'm not Kayla, but I'd like to ask that we get a chance to flight the new icon before we go and change it to match somebody else's design language because it "looks better that way". Thanks! 😄

@DHowett-MSFT it's a small tweak not a big change

somebody else's design language

I'm aware Microsoft have separate teams on the terminal, developer tools, and office, but most people regard Microsoft as Microsoft, not 'somebody else'.

because it "looks better that way".

That's a mischaracterization of this issue 😕. If you're unsure of the reason for the change, please read the title.

Love all the contributions you have been making! I understand modifying the icon to align more closely with VS. However, I'm in agreement with @DHowett-MSFT that we should get a chance to flight the new icon before making alterations. I'm happy to revisit this if a large amount of the community is in agreement 😊

@cinnamon-msft Totally understood re: wanting to wait. Why close the issue though?
