- Add logo to all subdirectory README files in feature folders (01-10) and plugins
- Replace old markdown image syntax with HTML picture element for dark/light mode adaptation

Design Guidelines

Logo Usage

Do:

  • Use on dark backgrounds
  • Scale proportionally (maintain 4:1 aspect ratio)
  • Include clear space around logo
  • Use in color as shown

Don't:

  • Change colors or gradients
  • Stretch or distort proportions
  • Use on light backgrounds without modification
  • Apply effects that obscure the design

Icon Usage

Do:

  • Use at standard sizes: 16, 32, 64, 128, 256px
  • Maintain the ascending progression concept
  • Scale proportionally

Don't:

  • Rotate or flip the icon
  • Change the color scheme
  • Use small sizes where details are lost

Favicon Usage

  • Use appropriate size for context
  • 16-32px: Browser tabs, bookmarks
  • 64px: Favicon site icons
  • 128px+: Apple/Android home screens

SVG Optimization

All SVG files include:

  • Gradient definitions for smooth color transitions
  • Filter effects for depth and glow
  • Optimized stroke widths
  • Responsive design patterns

For web optimization:

# Compress SVG while maintaining quality
svgo --config='{
  "js2svg": {
    "indent": 2
  },
  "plugins": [
    "convertStyleToAttrs",
    "removeRasterImages"
  ]
}' input.svg -o output.svg

PNG Conversion

To convert SVG to PNG for older browser support:

# Using ImageMagick
convert -density 300 -background none favicon-256.svg favicon-256.png

# Using Inkscape
inkscape -D -z --file=favicon-256.svg --export-png=favicon-256.png

Accessibility

  • All icons include clear geometric shapes
  • High contrast color ratios (WCAG AA compliant)
  • Scalable vector format works at any size
  • No text in icons (text added separately if needed)
