Hi team!

I had a go at (speculatively) using the header for a future version of our service.

It looked good but I found myself wanting to increase the font size of both the service name (to 24px) and the navigation links (to 19px). This seems more balanced to me?

Here’s a before and after:

I guess this might be less possible if services use a log of navigation items or have a very long service name, but for many services, the increased font size might be better?

Hi @frankieroberto!

Our UCD team agreed with you and decided to increase font sizes for all the nav links, as well as the service name heading – I implemented the updates in https://github.com/alphagov/di-govuk-one-login-service-header/pull/24. Font sizes should be more consistent now overall, both on mobile and on larger screens. You should be able to grab the latest styles from the dist folder.

I'm going to close this issue now. Thanks for your suggestions so far, and let us know any other bits of feedback you may have!
