While the new hand held high with a wrench avatar/logo may be a bit cooler, losing the bright yellow makes it a PIA to find it when going to favorites. It doesn't stand out anymore.
I suggest you keep the new logo but make it yellow again, that way you have the best of both

I'm about three days ahead of you. I noticed this last week and put the familiar MVS yellow background on it.

It's called a "favicon", and browsers like to cache this. Meaning, it might take a few days for your browser to update its favicon for MVS.

Here it is, enlarged (they're typically only displayed at 16x16 pixels):

And here is a link to the actual MVS favicon.ico file. Clicking on that may force your browser to update its copy.
Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link
. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!

You have some work to do
The old yellow style with the black M is on IE, the new logo in GREY is still on Firefox, (I re-booted)

Don't tell me my job, JRL.

Rebooting and your browser cache have nothing to do with each other.

Try going directly to the favicon https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/favicon.ico

That should push out the .ico your browser has cached.
