Nope.  The current icon in CVS is the illegible one.
Ettore checked it in here:

2001-10-31  Ettore Perazzoli  <ettore ximian com>

	* data/evolution.desktop.in (Icon): evolution.png instead of
	evolution-icon.png.

I discussed it with Ettore and he said that the marketing
folks and others had had a discussion and the decision was
to go with this hodgepodge icon.  I complained about it,
but Ettore explained that the decision was final for the
launch of 1.0 (he happens to agree that the icon is not so
great).  Oh well.
