@FediverseSymbol@typo.social, ok so I've redrawn all three icons at 16x16, mostly quantized to the pixel grid. The top center asterisk is annoying because it has to be offset by half-pixel horizontally for the icon to be centered in its frame. The pentagram is somewhat more readable like this, but still something of a colorful pixel jumble. And to no one's surprise, the Meta's icon wins because it's so simple geometrically.

@grishka Look at our favicon for our quick take at a sharp 16×16 version. We have a vector here: https://codeberg.org/fediverse-symbol/fediverse-symbol/src/branch/pages/img/favicon-vector.svg that reduces well at that size, as well as a hand-made pixel version there: https://codeberg.org/fediverse-symbol/fediverse-symbol/src/branch/pages/img/favicon-black.png (we have indeed a 1px offset, but in many use cases that’s not visible). Do like your solution of putting the asterisks 90°, there’s something there that could be explored more!
