Trialled the logo on different backgrounds and variations and implemented the version which is recognisable at 16px x 16px which is the white emblem on black background. This is inline with the crown logo used on gov.uk. The use of the score line on the left forces the logo to scale down even further which makes it less recognisable.
Other Design systems use their emblem in white on their brand colour e.g. MOJ
This would not work for the Design system site as DWP brand colour is an aqua green which does not create a visual coherence with the main site accent colour being purple.
Trials
House keeping branch also has other updates that require completing before release see: Housekeeping: Team page updates and DWP Logo #542
@mitz-lad There was a recent slack conversation which might help fill some wider context for a standardise opportunity.
What
The favicon for the Design System site is not visible against a dark background, for example when using Chrome with the Dark theme enabled:![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/26182217/194330939-e906e014-d07e-4dba-a1be-187412142b79.png)
Why
This is an opportunity to review the favicon against any relevant standards or good practice and update it if needed.
