An even easier way than zipping/unzipping is to just use the "touch" 
command, which you can do from either Terminal or from Rev's message box:

  touch <path to app>

The very easiest way, which seems to work occasionally but not always, 
is to Get Info on the app, click in the icon box, and hit the delete key 
on your keyboard. That sometimes forces the Finder to "replace" the icon 
with the one in the bundle.

BTW, I think relaunching the Finder is way overkill. Use one of the 
other methods.
