I hate to be a nitpick, but the head on the new icons looks smaller compared to the old icon. Once you notice it, it's hard to unsee.

@br441 you're right, but the new icons follow GitHub's guidelines, so the head is actually normal size now - it was bigger on the old icon for some odd reason...

Probably just because we haven't updated the icon since before the pandemic 😄 The graphical guidelines change faster than that.
