Usually the goal is to find your own style with an device, to separate it from the other devices (e.g. if you look at Sonys, all icons, design look like they fit together)
Tastes are different.
What is fact, that when you turn off the machine, under the old icon you had a big "I" remaining on the screen in the form of a ghosting.
The new icon forming the image of a book is rather gray and have only a thin black outline around it, therefore it does not leave a ghost image.
So all in all I am more happy with the new message icon, and I hope they keep it or something similarly gray and not black for the turning-off.
