The Pianoteq logo shown on their web page and that appears at the top of the program window would make a nice launcher icon. Having once tried my hand at piano-tuning, it has a special meaning for me. It's that place where a piano tuner has to nudge and coax and struggle with the stubborn resistance of the strings to fall into exactly the right amount of dis-tuning that makes a note sing. A very appropriate symbol!
Unfortunately, the way Pianoteq is distributed for Linux, you get no icon file to use in Linux system menus (docks) or desktop. However, I have now found a way to get a Pianoteq icon in my menus: open www.pianoteq.com in Firefox. Open Firefox Tools>Page info>Media. Click on https://www.pianoteq.com/images/logo/favicon.ico and download it to a writeable folder on your computer. Then call up http://iconverticons.com/online/, drag the icon onto the page and store it as a .png file. For some reason, the .png produced by this service is defective, but it can be repaired simply by opening it with gimp and saving it to a new file. Copy this file to an appropriate place; by Ubuntu/Debian convention, this would be /usr/share/app-install/icons. Pay attention to file and folder privileges.
