 > This is a cool feature, but I'm still not convinced that this is core
 material. My primary question remains, for how many users will there be a
 need for a site logo that is distinct from a site icon (favicon)?

 If I had to guess, I would say for many users. Site icons are full of
 restrictions. They are usually designed in a square canvas and have to
 look good in small dimensions. Logos are free from these restrictions.

 I wouldn’t be surprised if most sites featuring both a logo and a favicon
 had a different design for each of them.

 I think for many users a Logo feature would be even more useful than the
 Site Icon. I’m not completely sure about it, but I think many, if not
 most, people would consider a logo on their page more important than a
 favicon.

 The questions you make could also be made swapping the Logo and the Site
 Icon features (i.e., if the core already had a Logo feature and we were
 discussing the inclusion of Site Icon). That’s why I think it makes sense
 to have both of them (or even none of them). Both are equally important
 for me. I’d even give the edge to the logo, but that’s just me...
