I have not seen this happen and it is quite uncommon, but usually it means that the app hasn't fully loaded the icon from the dmg file to the memory. It could've been because you moved the app over very quickly or you must not have followed the standard procedure, which is
Download app → Drag icon to Applications folder.Either way, it should fix itself on a reboot. If you don't want to do that, there's an answer on Super User to the same question:
