As reported here #23942 (comment)

The newly separated save button uses a different icon to the save group.

The design proposal was to use the same icon for both.

Plus it seems odd to me to use the icon for edit to signify save https://fontawesome.com/v4.7.0/icon/pencil-square-o

@brianteeman Can I work on this?
Replacing edit icon with the save one would be the best option

Using the present icon is fine imho and consistent with 3.x

If it has absolutely to be changed, we may want to use
https://fontawesome.com/v4.7.0/icon/floppy-o
which does mean save in fontawesome

to be a bit constructive, my opinion is something like this:

Whats wrong with using the same icon for both. They are both "save". The design proposal uses the same icon for both

also possible but I think one is "save and continue working" and the other ist "save and be finished"

But the save icon at the moment is the "edit" icon so that would be "wrong" anyway

@infograf768 's icon seems most appropriate

I think, the edit icon is maybe "wrong", but for me it implies that I saved my work but I can still edit something. So in my opinion we should keep the current icon.

When you are using an external and common icon set and the icon is called "edit" then it is reasonable to assume that users will see this icon being used elsewhere to indicate "edit" and not "save" which is what we want.

Anyway I brought this up simply because the design document shows one icon being used for both

@franz-wohlkoenig I think from the above discussion, that icon change is not needed. Correct me if I am wrong.
I was going to work, but there was no conclusion.

Closing this as the icon used is now the same for both buttons in the new template. Although @HLeithner will be happy that the icon that's been chose is the floppy disk ?‍♂
