This is the result of a bad merge with the Chromium source code. We have a fix, and it should go out with tomorrow's Canary release. Thanks - Elliot

HotCakeX It is not fixed in .307 either, but what I noticed

is that on my laptop that hadn't gotten .306 yet and went directly

to .307 it is the normal icon.

Now that's an interesting observation..
I'm thinking, whatever problem 0.306 caused to the icons, 0.307 failed to fix, but if you skipped 0.306 then you're fine.

  HotCakeX Another tester found a solution:
  Right click the Taskbar icon, go to Microsoft Edge Canary, right click
  and choose Properties. Choose change icon and in the Browse box
  navigate to: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge SxS\User Data\Default\Edge Profile.ico
  Choose the Canary icon and apply. It worked for me on the Taskbar
  and Desktop icon. It does not change the Start Menu icon.
