shields.io has no Fallout icon, so the radiation trefoil rides in the badge URL as a base64 data URI. Consumers need nothing hosted on their side. Documents the copy-paste markdown and HTML, six style and wording variants, the trefoil SVG source, and the two constraints that matter when modifying it: logoColor does not apply to custom data URIs, and the encoded logo has to stay small enough for GitHub's image proxy.

Adds a Contribute section to the README, between Activity and Sponsorship, with the badge shown live and its markdown ready to copy. Extends the baseline-contributions list in CONTRIBUTING with the same pointer. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Love it ❤️ |
The Contribute section asks readers to display the badge; the badge row at the top of the README now carries it too, since Fallout's build is itself a Fallout build. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Adds
docs/badge.mdand asks readers for a star or a badge link.The badge existed already but was text-only, because shields.io has no Fallout
icon. It now carries the radiation trefoil, embedded in the URL as a base64
data URI, so nobody has to host an image.
What changed
docs/badge.md: copy-paste markdown and HTML, six style and wordingvariants, the trefoil SVG source, and how to rebuild the URL by hand.
Contributesection betweenActivityandSponsorship,plus a table-of-contents entry. It asks for a star or a badge link.
CONTRIBUTING.mdgets one more bullet under baseline contributions.Docs only. No code, no public API, no build changes.
Why
Two constraints are worth recording, because both are easy to get wrong later:
logoColoris ignored for acustom data URI, so the fill colour has to be written into the SVG. That is
why the yellow and white trefoils are two separate SVGs.
That fits GitHub's image proxy. A much larger SVG would not.
The short
?logo=falloutform needs the icon accepted intosimple-icons, which only takes
brands above a popularity bar. Fallout does not qualify yet, so that is filed
separately as #578 and the data URI stays the documented approach until then.
Verification
img.shields.io,with the logo present in the returned SVG.
#0d1117ground, andat 3x, to confirm the trefoil stays readable in the 14x14px logo slot.
#copy-thisanchor resolves, and every relativelink in the three touched files points at a file that exists.
