Thank you for this, I am adding a design review. I agree that having any icon other than the location one right now works for me. My only concern is that discoverability might decrease because people expect now it to be that icon, but we can resolve that with awareness.

Giving some design feedback.
In general, a T could work as a icon here.
Judging form the screenshot, the strokes looks inconsistent with the other icons, also the edges could get a little of roundness.
@benazeer-ben If you could place your new T icon besides the other already used ones, it'd help to give a give detailed design review.

Another idea I just had was the heading icon, but as a outline.

Thank you, @hanneslsm, for your feedback.

I've attached a screenshot of the modified "T" icon for your review. Please have a look and share your thoughts.

Further suggestions are always welcome!

In my opinion, the icon looks unbalanced compared to other text based icons (bold, capitalize, lowercase, uppercase, title, heading levels) because the vertical line is thicker than the horisontal.

[carolinan]

Are there past discussions and decisions saying that the existing title icon can not be used for the site title?

[carolinan]

..If the current text-based icons are based on the same font family, it would be good to use the same, and document it for the future. Who would know if this is the case? @WordPress/gutenberg-design

Hi @carolinan , Thanks for your suggestions.

I have reduced the overall thickness to avoid the icon appearing unbalanced in the latest commit.

Are there past discussions and decisions saying that the existing title icon can not be used for the site title?

Based on the scenarios outlined in this issue, replacing the existing icon seems like a better approach.

Here are some points mentioning in the ticket:

Confusing icon - is very similarly to a ‘location’ icon in Google maps.
I guess it doesn't help when you are only glancing over the blocks.

More design feedbacks are welcome.

Thanks

I literally meant the title icon, not the current site title icon.

The one that is used for other titles like the query title: https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/blob/trunk/packages/block-library/src/query-title/index.js

[benazeer-ben]

Yes, using the existing title is also a good option. I've attached a screenshot for quick reference.

[hanneslsm]

Yes, using the existing title is also a good option.

I don't think it's good practice to use the same icon for two different blocks.
I made some proposals in the issue. Happy to get some feedback there.
