It is by design, but I agree the behaviour is not ideal in this situation.
The default behaviour is that we try to select a logo colour that will work with the default backgrounds. If we think the suggested colour from simpleicons will work, we use that otherwise we re-colour it so that we don't end up showing a dark logo on a dark background or light logo on a light background. This is useful for the common case.
For the main badge styles (flat, flat-square, for-the-badge, plastic) we're assuming the background is going to be darkgrey
and for the social badge we're assuming it is whitesmoke
. If you've customised the background colour, then we don't adapt. Unfortunately in this case, because you've customised the background of the default badge style to a light colour, this means the logic is basically doing the exact opposite of what you want.
https://github.com/badges/shields/pull/2833 is the PR where we introduced this. The logic might have moved on a bit since then, but if you read the discussion there, that's how we arrived at the current tradeoff..
Are you experiencing an issue with...
Description
The color for Simple Icons seems to be inconsistent in its application. For some badges, I need to specify the
logoColor
and for other I dont.Working examples
simpleicons.org/swift
https://img.shields.io/badge/-Swift-fff?&logo=Swift
The color of the Swift logo is
FA7343
and it seems to be applied correctly without needing to specify thelogoColor
.simpleicons.org/docker
https://img.shields.io/badge/-Docker-fff?&logo=Docker
Again, I didn’t have to specify the
logoColor
for the logo to show up correctly.Non-working examples
simpleicons.org/java
https://img.shields.io/badge/-Java-fff?&logo=Java
The color of the Java logo is
007396
. The logo on this badge is white instead of its intended color. We can see this by changing the badge’s color: https://img.shields.io/badge/-Java-000?&logo=JavaSo to get the Java logo to show up correctly i have to specify the
logoColor
: https://img.shields.io/badge/-Java-fff?&logo=Java&logoColor=007396simpleicons.org/typescript
Logo without
logoColor
: https://img.shields.io/badge/-TypeScript-fff?&logo=TypeScriptLogo with
logoColor
: https://img.shields.io/badge/-TypeScript-fff?&logo=TypeScript&logoColor=007ACCI’m unsure if this is a bug or if it is by design. Why do I have to specify the
logoColor
for some logos, and for others I do not?
