@Lakshay-Pruthi The favicons and app Icons are currently missing intentionally while it's sorted out the best way to utilize them going forward. A lot of the existing use-cases need to be vetted before we go forward rather than continuing with what we've done in existing repositories.

One way you could help move this forward would be to see what the current recommended standards are for this area of implementation and list them here as a comment. (Also anyone else in the community can do the same if you see this!) As with anything I would assume there's some variation and it's worth listing any variations and their merits so a decision can be reached about their use.

Moving to a status: blocked until a route is outlined and agreed upon forward.

It's good that this Issue was added, because it documents that this is missing and gives us a place to discuss how it'll be implemented going forward.

If in the end the results are that what we've been doing is fine to continue with then we'll move to to status: ready for work and proceed, which is why I'm leaving #8 open for now :)

@possumbilitiesI I don't think there are any kind of fixed standards for the usage. I would recommend using multiple sizes of the app icon so that it looks good on all devices and a transparent background for the icon to ensure it looks good on different backgrounds as well.
