It used to be an alarm bell. Now it's... I have no clue. It looks like a completely retarded opened letter envelope icon with fat yellow dot.

I've seen it in Twitch streams. Nobody recognizes this symbol. Nobody gives it attention if there is a new notification.

Can we get the old alarm icon back?

I'm taking a crack at this - don't have the correct permissions to assign issue to me.

The "completely retarded opened letter enveleope icon" which "nobody recognizes" is called an "inbox" icon and is used only by some very niche websites like StackOverflow and unpopular software like Discord. So I totally understand that you've never seen it before.

It's retarted because the particular icon is very oddly scaled and looks more like an open drawer than an envelope. The yellow dot in the middle of the upper part emphasise even more.

I don't mind an envelope per se, but the one in this font is not good.

Bell and Inbox are not the same, in Discord:

And it's not an envelope, it's a stacking tray 👀
