Hi there, this may seem nitpicky, but my eyes seem consistently unable to locate the new launchpad icon. Anyone know of a way to switch it back to the little rocket ship? I tried Applications > Launchpad > Get Info and then pasting a new one in, but the get info window won't let me do so.
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.4
as said, you can't change the icon. but if you want a custom icon on your dock, you can make a duplicate of launchpad in your applications folder.
then you CAN change the icon of the duplicate and erase the word "copy" from the name of the duplicate.
this is what you end up with in your applications folder.
then once the icon is changed and renamed, you can drag the copy's icon and drop it on your dock.

Thank you very much. I guess that will have to do!
You cannot change the launchpad icon as it resides on a read-only System partition. Drag it to the left until it is the second item on the Dock. Then you have a positional reference that won't require changing the icon.
Why bother using Launchpad it's just a gimmick, all your apps are in the Applications folder.
Drag the icons of the most used apps into your Dock.
