Yes, they are distinctive and consistent if you want to quickly
switch to a different running application, but not anymore good if
you want to switch to an instance of the same application. In this

If you want to switch to Firefox, for example, and you hit alt + tab, the symbol you're looking for will always be the same, so it's extremely easy to find.
