Favicon Should Have a Transparent Background
 

Feedback: There shouldn't be that awkward white rectangle around FlyerTalk's favicon. See how other popular websites' favicons have transparent backgrounds. Nice clean look. Not FlyerTalk's. :td:

I don't even know what those are (besides that you use them to share on a given platform) or where you even find them

Favicons are small, square-shaped images that are found in various places, often on browser tabs, but really any place that a small representation of a company logo is needed. The example I showed appears on my Google homepage. It shows websites I go to frequently. And it happens to put light-gray circles "behind" those favicons.

FlyerTalk's logo is...

... but that's too large to fit into a small square. So, instead, FlyerTalk just uses the yellow balloon for short.

FlyerTalk's favicon has a white background. That's fine if the favicon appears on a white page (as it does here), but it doesn't look right when the background color isn't white, like the example I showed. And it's an easy fix.
