Create a clean gradient icon for this product, brand, or project: a tiny high contrast browser tab icon with a simple spark. Infer the best single visual metaphor from the description instead of defaulting to a rocket, spark, or generic abstract mark. Use Teal, amber, ink colors. The icon should be suitable for saas product icon. Centered composition, simple silhouette, high contrast, no text, no watermark, no mockup, no UI screenshot. If this is used as an icon set, keep the visual system consistent across sizes and variants. Background: gradient.

favicon design tips
Design for the smallest version first
Favicons fail when they are treated like tiny app icons. Start with the 16px browser-tab version, then scale up to Apple touch icons, PWA icons, and social preview marks.
Use one shape or one letterform, not a detailed scene.
Test against light and dark browser chrome.
Keep SVG available, but include practical PNG fallbacks.
