Because I write scripts, I keep a whole bunch of different versions of After Effects installed. This can get a little unwieldy, considering the icons don't change much between versions!
With this in mind, I quickly whipped up some alternate AE icons for Windows (I don't know much about these for MacOS, so no idea what size/formats are needed, sorry!). They're fairly pixely, just trying to keep the same dimensions and form factor of the existing.
In the zip, there are two versions-- one 128x128, and the other 144x144. You'll likely only really want/need the 128x128, however: on my hidpi laptop, I need to use the 144x144 else the 128x128 icons scale poorly. I've included the PSD for both sizes, as well as pngs & ico files for you to do whatever with. Enjoy!
