I guess the Material Design globe icon would be best. :)

As a related change, I think we could also update the web icon to something modern, if available. Otherwise, there's a possibility that the web icon might look outlandish when compared to the GitHub and Facebook icons, after the change.

@madhurgupta10 Sounds like a good plan! Would you like to take it up?

@sivaraam Yes, that too. :)

And convert the Facebook logo to black/transparent, I presume.

This made me wonder what Facebook's branding guidelines were. Here's what I found:

I'll leave it to others to do the brainstorming 馃槃

@misaochan I would be happy to do it, but in case a new contributor wants to solve this issue then I will be happier if you assign them :)

@sivaraam Could you please suggest modern icons for the web?

I didn't have any icons in mind when I suggested this. Anyways, here are some suggestions.

Note: I've included the images below only for demonstration. In case we choose to use one of these, it's better to use the original resources from the respective websites):

I know they might not be the best but that's all I the free resources that I could find. 馃し鈥嶁檪 If you don't find them good, please feel free to suggest better ones!

@misaochan Can I work on this issue?

Sure @6point022! Go for it :)

Just wanted to mention that I've found a usage of Google's Material Design globe icon in the app detail page of play store [obviously :)]

I realise this is the old UI but the same icon is used in the new UI.
