<!-- tag: icons -->
<!-- excerpt: [[OBSOLETE]] It's just easier to distinguish SE from meta.SE when one of them has a greyscale icon like a proper Meta should. -->

This userscript is **obsolete** now that the icon has been changed to something entirely more sensible. It is preserved below for posterity, and also so I can keep the 60 rep you all graciously gave me for it.

>
> When [Meta Stack Exchange](https://meta.stackexchange.com/) *finally* split from [Meta Stack Overflow](https://meta.stackoverflow.com/) (yay!), the shiny new Meta's icon was revealed to be the same as the icon used for stackexchange.com. This makes it a bit hard to tell which tabs are on which site by scanning the tab list. (It also made my Firefox pinned tabs (SE, MSE, this site, MSE chat, SE chat) *very* homogenous.)

> This userscript exists solely to give Meta SE a more fetching greyscale icon to make it more different.
