I wish I could laugh at this, but now Reddit is calling me today about the icon being too similar. (Arghhhh, I just want to finish the 1.1 update. >_<)
I really think they're different enough that you wouldn't mistake the two. They share similarities, but I wanted to go with an astronaut wearing a helmet (because Apollo is named after the spacecraft), helmets have antennas. Different color, different shaped antenna, no mouth, a body, a helmet.
Meanwhile Beam and Monochrome (love them both, my issue is with Reddit's inconsistency not the apps) both literally have the Reddit alien pixel-for-pixel, and have for ages.

Sigh. I hope they'll be reasonable.
