New stickers look great , but the old icon was , umm... iconic , in that it had that high-low coverage from taller spine /thick shoulders all the way into the handle. I prefer the look of the old shape.

I'm not sure - ideal opportunity for someone to do a new vs old Icon topic!
If GM sent me both, I would be happy to do it  ;)
Ok that won't happen! But I'm sure it will take place at some point.

I have only seen videos and pictures of the chrome but this kinda looks similar? I have no idea why they would change the original icon shape it was fantastic.

Slightly, but not by much. Also the Icon at one point was 3 different shapes at the same time during the era of F7/F4.5/F2 face choices.

Whatever its guise, as Icon, Paragon or this new Icon, i'm sure it will be popular. Although the original Icon shape was never my own personal cup of tea, it definitely appealed to a great many.
