it needs to be a single icon, there's no functionality anywhere to pick a different icon based on the theme so it should work both on light and dark background, and i don't think there's a way around having a border tbf the original ghost bird design has a a white background but i don't think that helps 😀 : https://media.x0f.org/575280eb3a8c453d181fc24c2a3942abd45bf5b355f445030070a06cf941f240.png

what i end up doing is put this in canva or pixlr and just tweak it. no need to hire someone. you can export into svg or png at whatever scale. (I know i know its a thing we don't want to deal with as devs, but we do lol) this is like what i did for @cloud fodder a few weeks back in canva https://www.canva.com/design/DAGTaJ4Gv4Q/4zQCeydBsY7xe7iy5Wx7ew/edit?utm_content=DAGTaJ4Gv4Q&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=sharebutton

The other option is to put it in a circle and just leave it with white background for the favicon, like these other logos are circulr and it looks decent. or, if you want the purple to stand out more, like the other favicons here, that's an entirely different design. https://image.nostr.build/ca09e1b441ea2b76bd8497a9a4dfc974277b7e98ff4395af85db24ed5b548488.png

thank you yeah... it's an option, though i don't really like the white circle, and when scaling to the smaller icon sizes (16x16, 32x32) you'll still have the same problem that it's just a black blob but in a white circle... maybe a different design is what i'm looking for then

i mean it's not a corporate logo or anything, the specific design is kind of important to me so i want to keep that, as much as possible- and oh yeah i know... i've done pixel art in the past (long long ago) and making something at 16x16 or 32x32 is really simplifying, removing details while still evoking them somehow but i don't want to spend a lot of time on that right now, that's why i asked
