A Code Golf specific favicon
On main Codidact Meta there was a request for [Unique favicons for each site](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/277432). This has had a positive response and no objections (the nearest is one answer that says it should be opt in per community).

Code Golf seems like a good place to test out having a distinguishing favicon. Is this something you would like to see?

There is already a community logo which could be used for the favicon, but this was not specifically designed for such a small size, so it might be better to design something with favicon use in mind.

To help decide, here is the icon part of the logo at various sizes:

Size | At actual size | Adjusted for comparison
--- | --- | ---
Original image size | ![Full size code golf icon - a cup within curly braces against a red disc](https://codegolf.codidact.com/uploads/uyslkuwale1qjtyuzyg19a7918ak) | <img width="96" src="https://codegolf.codidact.com/uploads/uyslkuwale1qjtyuzyg19a7918ak" alt="Full size code golf icon - a cup within curly braces against a red disc" />

It appears that at the highest resolution commonly used for favicons the cup and braces are just about distinguishable, but for users on lower resolution screens they will be difficult to identify.

Would you like to see a version of this icon adjusted to be more recognisable at favicon sizes, or would you prefer something different?

If you have multiple suggestions of potential favicons, please post them in separate answers so that voting can be specific to one idea. If you have several different sizes of the same idea (as shown here for the current icon), please post them all in a single answer.
