Comment:

 I'm afraid it's a bit more complicated than expected. The two links can be
 styled by the themes. For example, Twenty Seventeen targets the first
 `<a>` child. Other themes may use any sort of CSS selectors including type
 (element) selectors so it's not just a matter of CSS classes: changes to
 the markup will likely break some themes. See screenshots below.

 The only alternative option I can think of is removing the `href` from the
 icon link but that would make the icon non-clickable.
