Yay, happy to see things happening :) First impression thoughts following

First though a quick hint that KSokoban might see a rename, due to trademark
issues (or respect to those still around who have done and distribute the
original game). Yet to be decided & executed. New name should still be around
the "dude reshuffling things in warehouse" theme ideally.

Interesting idea to switch to using the goal asset as app icon theme.
Good: 
* might reflect more to the game idea to get things to given new locations
Bad: 
* breaks tradition
* small shape expansion might look out of proportion
* object type hard to identify for those who do not know KSokoban, might result
in mental mismapping/confusion

Using a green colored gem misses the direct reference for me, as the current
game itself does not have such an object appearance.

Using a red gem shaped similar to the one in the game actually picks up the
tradition of the initial icon, in case you have not yet researched yourself :)
(see
https://invent.kde.org/games/ksokoban/-/commit/3f1a2d11336c8e175579a8e6019b7074dc5fe3dc
). with the version slightly turned to the viewer matching the original in
that.

The version matching the current icon looks good. Though as with the current
icon, my mind always sees also a boat steering upon me, with a strange deck ;)
It surely is unique and by that serves a purpose, but also feels strange.

So out of the selection presented, after a first look I would tend to the shape
of the two red gems top-left. Though they might perhaps get a tad more 3D
effect, like more contrast in whatever way to the sides on the left & the
right? The green variants have that better, at least on my display.
