The new FB8 icon is really hard to see on dark browser themes compared to the old icon. The old icon was really distinctive and made finding the FB tab easy. Screenshot attached. alt text

Thanks for the feedback, Jason. Some users have reacted very positively to the favicon, so we'll probably wait and see on this one... – Ben Kamens♦ Sep 8 2010 at 20:59

 Well...not advocating a rollback to the old icon exactly. But the soft edges make it hard to see. The Kiwi favicon on this site is easier to see than the FB8 one: content.screencast.com/users/jasonjwwilliams/… – jasonjwwilliams Sep 9 2010 at 4:56

 Usually I don't care, but the dark toned colors make not so stand out anymore. I'm looking forward to FF4 with it App Tabs feature, which will represent application tabs only by their favicon -> I can imagine that it will be easier to see if it has brighter colors. – Markus Sep 15 2010 at 9:40
