Favicon

When I fire up Firefox, I get a couple of rows of favicons linking to sites that I have visited a lot. These are all nice, smooth icons of more than adequate definition except for the lemonfool one. This is a pixelated yellow splodge with a bit of green which, if I squint, looks vaguely like a lemon. On my mobile 'phone (Opera), I get an "L" in a blue square. The Lemon Fool deserves better than this! I'm sure that the image must exist in a higher definition. Alternatively, you are welcome to make free use of mine,

My original drawing is an SVG file.

If you're tinkering anyway ... a transparent background, rather than white, would be good :-)

Well that's a new term I've learned.

I only see them on Edge, sites I visit and sites they want me to visit :(
Now I know what they're called, perhaps I can get rid of them https://winaero.com/enable-or-disable-site-favicons-for-edge-address-bar-suggestions/ :)

The SVG file produces a transparent background when I export it as a PNG. I filled it with white to display it. Imgur displays a transparent background as black.

I can supply the SVG file or a PNG with a transparent background.

I've sometimes wondered why we don't stick a jester's cap on the lemon...?

Probably a bit too close to trademark infringement for comfort... Not saying that the idea is impossible, but if I owned TLF I would only go with it after asking TMF for permission and only if they gave that permission.
