You can write to the Vim developers' list yourself and suggest a better logo
or that one should be found. Anyway, I should note that I recall that when
Windows XP came out, Microsoft changed the icons of the applications to ones
that were more artsy, and as a result harder to tell apart and to recognise
immediately. I hated that. So it's important to never sacrifice function for
form.

You may find tis of utility:
