How to get the new Edge insider Logo after update

UPDATE 1:

 

You have to uninstall your browser and then download and reinstall it again from here:

https://www.microsoftedgeinsider.com/en-us/download/

 

this is one way to get the correct icon everywhere (start menu, taskbar, desktop) and with the correct label (Canary, Dev, Beta)

 

I did it and chose to delete user data during uninstall, but be careful, make sure to enable Sync before uninstall to prevent from losing any data.

 

UPDATE 2:

Thanks toasplode 

 

If you create a new profile and then promptly delete it, the icons are fixed!

 

 

UPDATE 3:

Thanks to MitchDahl 

 

signing out of Sync and then back in.

 

 

UPDATE 4:

Thanks to Dennis5mile 

 

"I found another way to change the icon for whichever version you are using.  First right click the icon and then right click the exe for that version of edge you want changed then click properties.. follow the photos below which I did from my taskbar...


then on next screen choose change icon.. 

 

Then choose the icon you want, but make sure the path is correct"

    Update 2 didn't work for me, my main profile still had the old icon. I found the .ico file and deleted it thinking that would work, but it just gave me a blank icon, even after uninstalling and reinstalling.

     

    Deleting all data when uninstalling would work but Edge doesn't sync extensions yet so that's not ideal to have to set all of them back up. In the end all that fixed it for me was signing out of Sync and then back in.

    HotCakeX I still have two icons when I pin to taskbar.

    The new icon, and when I click it I get another (the old icon) with the actual windows and actions.
