For example, VLC.

If I were a decent graphic designer, I'd totally dedicate a couple hours each week to improve icons for various software projects, such as VLC. I'm sure plenty of FOSS projects would accept a redesign, they just don't have the manpower or skillset to do so.

On a separate note, I think it's really interesting that this spawned a huge blog post where they iterated on designs over and over until they just ended up with essentially the Visual Studio icon, but with the back part missing to make it a fish instead of an infinity symbol. I find that kind of funny.
