This is obviously a very very low priority nitpick, but the current favicon is bad. Obviously not worth pulling meaningful resources to fix, but when it is possible I would say that just a bolded M in any bright color would be an improvement from the current version.

You can generate a letter based favicon easily from somewhere like this https://favicon.io/favicon-generator/

I'm not saying that the product will be good, but I think like a black M on a grey background might still be an improvement.

I'm not brave enough to actually select a font though.

I prefer the current favicon over a letter. It could maybe be more of a stereotypical castle though - like a rook chess piece.

That would be good!

I'm neutral on the current image being the favicon or not, but I will say I do like it as the site's header image, especially with the current header font and style.

(It's a subjective aesthetic feeling so I'd be hard-pressed to explain why. To me it's a nice look. It feels stately and sharp but modest and grounded. 100% subjective here.)

I don't have a problem with the image in other contexts but it is objectively a bad candidate for a favicon. It just looks like a brown smudge when shrunk down to that size.

What is a favicon? Is it the “admin” microphone icon?

Its the tiny image that shows up in tabs for the site.

The favicon is the little icon that shows up in your browser's list of tabs or list of favorites/bookmarks.
