Lots of use cases for this! I've used https://clearbit.com/blog/logo/ in the past.

Results are somewhat different, e.g. compare https://icon.horse/icon/wikipedia.org to https://logo.clearbit.com/wikipedia.org

Yes indeed! I'm not surprised there's some difference. One thing I learned doing this is that there's a lot of choices to make when selecting the best icon.

For example, some sites have SVG icons, which are usually superior in both file size and in scalability (compared to raster formats), but if using them in a mobile app in React Native, it would require an additional step to integrate SVG images.

yes, have also used clearbit -- this is interesting and consistently run into use cases -- great work :)

perhaps have parameter, e.g., format={png||svg} and serves up png if no svg available
