Request to revert back the color of icon from black to red for Acrobat Standard DC
Please revert back the icon color of Acrobat Standard DC to red or any other color but black. The black color has poor visibility and not eye friendly.
Request to take it on priory basis if possible as its slow down working speed as we loose the visibility of the icon on taskbar

Hello All,
Thank you for the feedback. The icon has been reverted to Red icons in Feb release of Acrobat and Reader.
Thanks,
Karan

Please revert back to red color icon. It's much easier to detect among files. Funny that this webpage's head-banner is in Acrobat red color.

I like the black and white icon but, without a pop of colour, it's much harder to pick out pdf files from a list of documents in a folder.

Please change the icons back to red. Our customer base is so used to the red and it really set you off from other brands. Your red icon truly is 'iconic'!

What branding person thought you should dispense with a decades' old brand? I guess coke cans will no longer be red either

Yes, it's very difficult to find the icon now on the toolbar and even notice on the desktop. Please bring back the well known 'red' icon

I'm even OK with the black, but can you PLEASE stop hardcoding background colors for Windows 10 tiles now? Consistency is key and Microsoft will handle this now. Please fix!!!

Please make it red again. It is much harder to find Acrobat files in file lists and desktops.

I was boggled when I finally started using Creative Cloud (I was loathe to give up CS6) and found Acrobat had switched to an icon that's nearly invisible on the Windows taskbar. This is terrible design; please change it back to the familiar red icon we are all used to working with.

The icon for Bridge and Acrobat are both white on black.
It's helpful when working to glance in my dock and immediately select the right program. The other Adobe programs I use (ID, PS, AI) are all colors, so very easy to immediately ID and select.
It seems trivial, I know. I can just tell you that it would be very helpful for many of us and probably simple on your end.

Very easy to change this manually. Search for an image of the original red icon and save it. If not a .ico file, then use an .ico converter (many available for free online) to change the .png, .jpg or whatever the picture file format that you've save is into a .ico format, and save this .ico file. Right click on the black Adobe Acrobat Pro icon in the Start Menu, choose Properties, then in the box that appears choose change icon. Browse and select the .ico file that you saved earlier, thereby replacing the black icon with your .ico version.

I have used acrobat for years. (decades at this point?) Acrobat is RED. That is your color.
I literally just spent 2 minutes trying to open Acrobat, not realizing I was staring at it the whole time but didn't see it was a black icon instead of red.
Also. I have TONS of icons which are already black. Common color with video games. This also makes it hard to pick out Acrobat (which has been RED for ever)

I agree with this post and all related comments! Please change it back. What were you thinking?

The black icon is hard to see and frankly, it is ugly. I do not understand why you would choose to change such a universal symbol at this stage of the game... a very poor choice. Please change it back to red and white. I'm begging you.

please give us back the red icon for acrobat pro - the black one disappears into the task bar on windows and offers significantly reduced recognition.

Adobe just did a new upgrade to its Acrobat Pro, which was apparently done with no thought process. Most people have a black Task Bar (I'm not even sure I can change the color of it). As a result, none of the other programs I have use a black background for their Task Bar icon. Unfortunately, Adobe apparently figured that they would have a cool sleek look by changing their icon to black, but all it does is make the icon impossible to find on the black Task Bar. PLEASE CHANGE IT BACK!!!!!!!
