What @democrite mentioned above works. I'm currently running macOS Ventura 13.5.1 with Calibre 6.25.0.
I just tried with Calibre 8.11.1 on macOS Sequoia, and couldn't get it to work. I went through all icons of /resources/images inside Calibre, and exchanged what looked like the old icon to a new PNG, but nothing worked. Not even changing the .icons file in /Resources worked. Strangely, after I did a Show Info on Calibre in Finder, it updated the icon correctly for the App itself, but no matter how many times I relaunch the app, the old icon keeps showing up in the Dock. I even tried to kill the dock through the Terminal, to no avail.

I am actually surprised they haven't updated the old Calibre icon to something modern, because darn that thing is ugly, and there's a bazillion better alternatives online, and likely a horde of designers who would contribute to a new one in an instant.
