Desktop Icon

I'm not sure if I have a corrupted version, but the current desktop icon I have for Path of Exile is an unclear, pixelly, poorly resized mess. Is there another icon that I'm missing, or is this a stand-in? I wouldn't even mind pixelling in a rendition of my own if GGG has better things to do. I just feel that the incredible level of polish and beauty in this game is betrayed by a little icon that shows up on the screen. :)
I saw a mudcrab the other day... horrible creatures.
I believe it is a high res image that is downsampled by the operating system. Try increasing the icon size, you'll see it get nice and crisp. I think this icon will be fixed sometime.

The OP may have already solved this problem but I thought I might as well post up my solutions for anybody else who finds the pixelated icon a bit unpleasant/distracting.

Edit:

I think it's a standard size icon, that's upscaled to 7 and vistas newer larger sized icon size.

Meaning that they need to make a modern icon. It was probably made a long time ago.
I made a couple icons earlier that were posted here.

I like the new "PoE" icon, but not so much the 16x16 "E" image.

I play windowed, and the "E" that appears in my taskbar seems generic.

I like those ones you posted, those skill gem heads in the PoE logo suit an icon better than the logo itself does.
Also you're right, that 'E' is a bit weird, some image would be better.
