Thanks for the contribution, @davidjb 👍 The SVG is coming in at Personally, I'm not entirely sold that the orange is the correct choice for the colour. Looking through their website, it seems to be used as an accent colour rather than a primary colour. From their website, I'd expect the primary brand colour to be the grey used in the logo. |
@PeterShaggyNoble Updated the SVG and made sure the path is exactly 24.000 wide. Is there a command that could be run perhaps as part of the lint process to ensure width/height are okay? As for the choice of colour, the grey is used a bit and but it doesn't feel like the primary branding colour with the reddish-orange (eg Edit: the orange turns up a lot more prominently after some form of update today: Featured in the modal, then the CTA at the top, and then another CTA as you scroll and in the right-hand column down the page, as well as the primary colour on paper-style buttons as shown on an article page. The orange does turn up as a primary colour in their reports' diagrams, maps, headings, signage, shirts, etc (eg the 2017/2018 reports use it particularly heavily):

Regarding the color, I would agree that a reddish-orange is the brand color. The gray feels more like it is just used to contrast the white background of the website. The icon looks good now 👍 I'll leave the final decision (given the color) to @PeterShaggyNoble or a third @simple-icons/maintainers.
That would be awesome, I'm not aware of any tool that can do that for us out of the box, but it would certainly be useful! |
@ericcornelissen See what you think of #3107 😀 |
At the time of my initial review, the orange was being used very little on their site but, given how prominent it is now, I'm happy to run with it. Thanks for your work on this one, @davidjb. |
