The design of the reduced version of that shape interpretes and translates the characteristics and lines of the original vector graphic. The original flow must survive the reduction in order to recognize the high-res fluid strokes beyond the hard and purposefully not anti-aliased 16 × 16 pixel-grid.
Does it work for you?

Let me suggest you tweet this:

It reappeared in a later version --
Pixel by pixel, whatever it takes.
