I did some troubleshooting. I logged in to my "test" account and did not have the problem. I went back to the main account, added new favorites...they were fine. But again, when I delete and re-add Google to Favorites it shows up as New York Post.
I deleted and re-added East IdahoNews and the icon fine.
Yes, I shut it down and turned it back on. Made no difference.
After further troubleshooting it appears it only happens when I add Google and Google Maps. I have deleted and added them to Favorites several times, and the icons say New York Post. I HATE the New York Post. I favorited other Google products and the icons were fine.
Curious!
