Since D12992 seems stuck, update the current icon
a little bit and add a blueish gradient to the
icon. Also remove the ugly text for the 48px icon,
since it was not readable anyway at small sizes.

I don't think it makes sense to change the icon here if D12992 already does it. If you want it to progress then take over the revision and work on the completely new style there or make a ping comment and have some patience.
I have no intention on taking over D12992 as I would like rather like to code for Elisa. I am no designer.
I was unsatisfied with the icon and @mgallien agreed on some slight adjustments to the current one.
D12992 has been around for ages. I hope that this incremental update can be agreed upon faster and land for next frameworks release. Especially I find the "Elisa" text ugly and worth removing it quickly.
Please optimize the SVG files using one of these methods: https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Icon_Workflow_Tips#SVG_optimization
About the design itself, I think the area where the "Elisa" branding was previously looks a bit empty now. I would suggest you either find some nice pattern to put there or simply center the tape window in the colored area.
Overall I think this is a good improvement, the letters in that icon were what kept me from putting Elisa permanently in my dock :P
This is with the tape window moved up 1px
When I look at images of real cassettes, they are not centered, hence why I only did this slight adjustment.
If everyone is okay with this, I will update the revision with the optimized svgs.
I don't think that filling this space is useful.
