All I can see at first glance is a blue circle with some not very well-defined shape on it and generic mobile-style shadow. When I zoom it up, I can appreciate that it's a somewhat abstract rendition of the cyber woodpecker, but after all this time (and I'm talking years, not a week) I'm still not seeing it at first glance when the icon is small. It's just a blue circle that, unlike Chromium's icon with its distinct dot in the middle, gets lost among other circles.

I think the issue I have with it isn't with the "logo" shape itself, but rather with how it's embedded into and composed within an icon. I think it could work well on something else than a plain circle. Maybe even just improving the shadow and adjusting color shades to make it more contrast-y could already help.
