Getting old icon on new install with Ubuntu 16.04LTS

I have just installed Sublime Text 3143 on my Ubuntu 16.04LTS machine. I am seeing the old icon not the new one.
If I navigate to /usr/share/applications I can see the new icon in there.

Sublime was downloaded from the PPA:

Tried restarting, uninstalling and doing a new installation, same result.

How to get the new icon?

and then log out and back in.

Attach the icon back to launcher.
