curiously enough, if I display this logo inside the firefox browser it is invisible (just a red square).

However, donwloading the png file and opening it on any image viewer it shows two different shades of red. I guess firefox is applying a silly color contrast change to its images before displaying them.

Just to add my own observations (Ubuntu Disco, FF 66) - it's also solid red for me in Firefox, but if I download it I can see the Android image in the preview in Gnome's file browser. If I open it up in Ubuntu / Gnome's "Image Viewer" application it's solid red, but works fine in Shotwell.

It's also solid red in GIMP 2.10, which surprised me.
