Modify the icon used for DF collectibles so that it's consistent with the other expansions

The icon used for Dragonflight collectibles seems to look a bit distorted:

Not sure if it's just my client or if that's intended? I don't have the original image used to create the BLP file either.

Edit: My primary concern is that it's huge and blurry, which visually contrasts the other icons.

I believe the icon was added by @godejord - is this how it's supposed to look? If not, should we change it (e.g., reduce the size)?

Taking a further look, it appears the image size was too small: All the other logos were 64x16 pixels and this one, 32 pixels only.

After resizing and centering, it was however difficult to distinguish from the Shadowlands logo and also hard to read (low contrast). I tried to increase the contrast by adding a text shadow, or overlaying the text on the grey DF logo. But the contrast was still pretty low and it looked kind of wonky. So next I tried to create a completely new logo from official artwork. Result:

I suppose it's visually distinct from the other logos. Not sure about contrast, might be "good enough"?

The logo was just added as a temporary placeholder in the beginning. I struggled to make it look similar to the previous expansion ones, and I never got around to finish the work... Glad you are taking responsibility of this one! ๐Ÿ˜†

I'll go ahead and replace the icon, then. Maybe one day someone less artistically challenged than me will make it look good ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ
