I'm using Firefox and it still says "Lw". I don't know whether it was changed back, or just never changed in Firefox. Either way, thanks for teaching me the word Favicon!

I see the old Favicon on both Safari and Chrome. I even emptied the cache in Safari. I wonder why we aren't seeing the same image as the others.

On further inspection, Firefox is doing something interesting. When I type the start of the LW URL in the URL bar, the dropdown suggestion menu has the "<X" favicon, but when I actually go to the page, I get the "Lw" favicon.

How anomalous. I'm finally seeing the "<X" favicon on my phone, but still no chalge on my computer. Are other people running OS X lion?

Pressing shift-F5 would quite likely change it. (If that is what you want.)

Cool tip, but I think the old one is better. The new one looks like a heart and could, as Alicorn pointed out, easy be read as "not even wrong."

I agree. :)
