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:
- 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.
- 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.

- 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.
