The old favicon was the same as the official react documentation, which is a minor annoyance during development when trying to find the tab you want. The new favicon is just the old with inverted colors. Closes facebook#7957

The prior favicon was small because it used embeded pngs instead of bmps. I couldn't find a way to combine a bunch of pngs into an ico so I wrote one. Pretty annoying, but all of the original embedded sizes are accounted for. Here's the source png if anyone has a better way. |

The inverted comments look a bit odd IMO. I'm not a designer though. |

I'm going to revert this. I'd prefer to be involved in any discussion that involve branding (logo, icons). This stuff matters and ideally someone with design background should be involved in upgrading or changing these. I empathize with the original problem but this solution isn't quite good enoungh. |

Here's an example of how it looks in light and dark browsers:
I honestly have no idea why the size grew 5x and I'm going to try and figure out why.
