Description
The current icon is great, but it doesn't match the new system aesthetic for icons of macOS Big Sur.
I actually liked the previous icon style better, but now that the rounded rectangles are here it just looks weird, if an icon falls out of line.
I created a temporary replacement icon just for me (see below). So I know it's really difficult to get the idea of compressing just in a square - even Apple's Compressor icon isn't that great, but I hope an official new icon is already in planing.

Research direction
Review the attached replacement icon and the macOS Big Sur icon aesthetic described in the issue. Identify where the current application icon is defined, then create a replacement that presents the compression concept in a rounded-square style; done means the app icon visually fits the newer macOS system aesthetic.
