Yep, just need to build it back bigger right where the BAH was. Get the tank up above the theatre and it won't be so bad.......
Think of the shade it could provide

I think a giant blue hat would be perfect. Can't be much more of an eyesore than the Epcot barges .

I was going to mention that he left off a Big Blue Hat from the list.
It is unfortunate that it was placed where it was as it did look good in itself, and made a good icon back when animation was a real part of the park. Unfortunately it was about as well placed as a certain Aladdin spinner.
I don’t believe they have an appropriate icon - and they knew it too. That’s why they’ve used HTH ever since losing the hat.
I wonder what the right answer is....

The Chinese Theatre
I know it's pedantic but anyone else here from the US that spells theater as theatre? Anyways this is my choice for the HS Icon as you will appreciate it more once you have been to the real one which is nasty and dirty.

I generally spell theater for movies and theatre for plays, ballet, symphony etc

I've always used Theater for the building and Theatre for the artform.
I liked the idea of the hat but it's placement was wrong.

It’s shame they couldn’t find a space for a new tower somewhere But at least it still exists in Paris.
With the Chinese theatre as the central icon again I’d bring back the handprint ceremonies with current celebs as well
I was just using options that actually exist, I didn't consider past icons to be rebuilt

My impression is that they wanted/tried to have an icon at the core of the park. I get it - that they didn’t want to (or couldn’t) use Hollywood’s landmark at their park’s icon.
I didn’t like the hat where is was, but 100 ft to the left could (possibly) have been fine.
I was a teenager when it was built and in my 4 trips during that era never recall seeing the earful tower. I knew that it was supposed to be the park’s icon but never spotted it but from the freeway (if memory serves)

As it existed, I couldn’t imagine it to get any votes
But it’s a legit question. I don’t know what they should have as their icon.

Disney icons are those items that are relatable to the park general themes, welcomes and draws the guests in, catches their attention and sets them up for the day of fun. The Chinese Theatre better fits those parameters unlike the others. Its long past history of celebrities, their films and and what it stands for, should put it clearly in as the park Icon. ( Despite whats housed inside.)

Theater is a place, theatre is an art form
