--- Comment #1 from Christian (Fuchs) <kde at fuchsnet.ch> ---
based on the VDG chat discussion, here so we have it here as well:

the mimetype image/x-icon is not "a generic icon" but specifically one based on
the microsoft icon spec used for windows icons (and favicons in IE/Edge), so it
makes sense to have a windows logo in it. Software wanting a "generic icon"
graphic or icon should use that instead of the image/x-icon mimetype. If such a
graphic is currently not available, it could be created. I'd recommend not
changing the mimetype icon for image/x-icon.
