Wow, that logo is gorgeous. Who is the artist?

I'm tempted to say it was AI generated: https://i.imgur.com/ZIfbAca.png
It's strange to me though that people release new apps on macOS without making the icons conform to the usual shape. Makes applications stand out like a sore thumb on the Dock.
It's made with the Midjourney niji engine and finished up in Photoshop.
It's beautiful but from decades of experience in app development, I moved away about 10 years ago from using images as icons to insisting that all icons be vector files.

But hiring an Adobe Illustrator expert to professionally recreate the icon as a layered SVG wouldn't cost much. Well done!

Thanks for the response! Very impressive results from Midjourney.
Turned out gorgeous. Do you remember the original prompt?
Yes, but promise not to laugh: "application icon, a side view of a fat seagull". Fat seagull :D
+1 would love to work with the artist for my company.
Apparently it's AI. So...
