CI / test (push) Has been cancelled
design: favicon v2 (V-centric) + logo-placement mockups
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.

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.
