# WeVisto · favicons v2 + logo placements

2026-05-15 iteration following the atmospheric-redesign checkpoint.
Two threads:

1. **Favicons rebuilt** — scrapped the previous A/B/C/D (roof, frame+horizon,
   skyline, wax seal) as generic invented icons. The new set reduces to the
   brand's own glyph: the yellow V from the wordmark, presented four ways.
2. **The wordmark logo placed at hero scale** — three mockups giving the
   full `wordmark.svg` (harbor photo + "WeVisto") room to live in the PWA
   beyond the existing email + small-badge usage.

## Picked direction (favicons)

**3 · V-viewfinder.** The V cut out of navy with the harbor photo visible
inside — *you are looking at a photograph framed by the V.* Strongest
refinement is **3b** (`favicons/3b-viewfinder-buildings-*.png`) which tightens
the inner photo crop onto Camogli's coloured row-houses for a more
brand-specific small-size reading.

Runner-up: **4 · V-cropped** (`favicons/4-V-cropped-*.png`) — an actual
tight crop of the published wordmark. Most "WeVisto in the image itself"
of any direction.

## Open work

- Decide between **3b** (recommended) and **4** (also "promising").
- Logo-moments not yet picked — Matt's review pending on which of the
  three placements (splash / library hero / about page) to wire up first.
- Once selected, rasterize 3b at the standard PWA sizes (16/32/64 favicons,
  180 apple-touch-icon, 192/512 PWA manifest icons, 512 maskable variant
  with safe-zone padding) and ship into `webApp/frontend/public/icons/`
  replacing the current split-W-on-photo set.
