CI / test (push) Has been cancelled
Iteration after the atmospheric-redesign checkpoint. The earlier A/B/C/D favicon set was scrapped — generic invented icons (roof, frame+horizon, skyline, wax seal) that didn't tie to the brand's own glyph. New direction: the yellow V from the wordmark, presented four ways. V-viewfinder (a V cut out of navy showing the harbor photo inside) is the chosen path; refinement 3b crops to Camogli's coloured row-houses for a more brand-specific small size reading. Also adds three logo-placement mockups (PWA cold-launch splash, library hero with the full wordmark logo, settings → about page) to give the wordmark room to live beyond emails and login badges. Self-contained: assets/ and spa/ copied into the design folder so the mockups render without depending on neighbouring directories.

# 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.
|
|

## To view
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd webApp/_design/favicons-and-logo-v2
|
|
python3 -m http.server 8766 --bind 0.0.0.0
|
|
# → open http://<host>:8766/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## 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.
