I'm running Fedora-24/KDE on my laptop (and have been for some time). In the last day or two, the K-icon (Application Launcher) in my panel has been replaced by something strange - as I see it, there are 3 dots on the left, and an arrow-head on the right.
Is this intended? If so, what is it meant to represent? If it is not intended, is there any way of recovering the old icon?

right click -> properties -> select icon -> done

I'm afraid I don't see any "properties" option when I right-click on the icon (Application Launcher), desktop or panel ...

Application Launcher *settings* maybe?

I didn't find this. But I see now when I right-click on the icon and go to Application Launcher Settings I am able to choose the "K" icon that I love (sort of).
I also see that the icon I had before this change was indeed the default icon. It seems to me extremely ugly; what is it supposed to represent?

Your advice was to right-click and choose the "properties" option. I merely pointed out that there was no such option.
Not to worry, your response helped me, as I found the correct option easily enough.

to be honest: i expect somebody to find a however exactly called option like this in a context menu with 3 entries without forcing me to switch my desktop from german to english (in doubt by look at the other 2 and recognize "ok, that are not settings, properties, options for the icon itself" as well it's not unusual to click on a icon in a KDE settings dialog to change it

That is the plasma icon.
FWIW I noticed the same issue after the update to kf-23 (kde frameworks).

I believe what you got was the plasma icon. The default (I believe) for breeze is the simple black and white K surrounded by a partial gear. It is named "kde". That is the one I use....
Everyone has different taste, of course.

It's a bug that should be fixed now, but it may require manual intervention to get rid of any broken icon: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2016-41a78a06f8
right click application launcher => alternatives => ...
select anything, and back to your original chosen one, though doing it this way may lose any other customizations you've made (like favorites).
or manually adjust the icon as mentioned elsewhere in this thread.
