I think this doesn't look very recognizable or sticks out, simple because there are some basic similarities between all the Dock-Icons: 1. Strong colors 2. Strong strokes, often rounded at corners 3. One simple letter/word maybe, as big as possible One thing you could try would be to improve the current logo, by colorizing the +++ and --- lines with green/red for example. Or changing the background. The logo of gity is a good example: http://github.com/beheadedmyway/gity/blob/master/assets/icon.png As is the gitti logo: http://www.gittiapp.com/index.php Using a less distinctive logo would be a disadvantage imho.
