In 4.7.4 we had two layers in misc/favicon.ico, 16x16 and 32x32. With the new side-looking druplicon version in 5.x we only have 16x16. This means when people make desktop shortcuts out of default-theme drupal sites, they will get an ugly blurry version of the icon. I am attaching a version with 16x16 and 32x32 exports of the official logo svg, and also have a 9kB version that adds 64x64 if desired.

sparr commentedand here is a version of the first attachment with just 16 colors. still looks almost as good, and its smaller than the currently packaged icon. although the current one seems to have alpha transparency, i think that level of quality is wasted on such a small icon
Comment #2
sparr commentedi forgot to mention that both attachments are without alpha transparency. if added, which requires 32-bit color, the filesize is 5kB
Comment #3
sparr commented16x16 + 32x32, 32bit color, alpha transparency. attached.

sparr commentedgiving in to peer pressure, marking as 6.x for attention, once its fixed then it should be backported to 5
