The PS file available at your last link looks to be the best (and most up to date) version of the logo. There are some strokes to be careful of on the white sections, but otherwise could be quite an easy one to contribute. I'd say (purely from looking at the site and logo) that we should use #000000 as our hex - but happy for you to suggest otherwise. Would you like to give it a go by following our contribution guidelines, @mfarragher?

I have a bit of spare time the next few days so I will give it a try and see how it goes. 🤞

[mfarragher]

I'm a novice with vector graphics and did tinkering with Inkscape so I'm pleased with how this is rendering 😄

Before doing a PR is that code OK?
Maybe there's a way to simplify those paths and the tags but that's the limit of what I can do with vector graphics.

[PeterShaggyNoble]

Nice work, @mfarragher, that looks like a good start to me If you let us know what software you're using we can help you merge the paths into one single path to get it ready for PR.

[mfarragher]

Inkscape.

I had tried methods like Union on the paths but not sure how to combine them. 🙂

[PeterShaggyNoble]

OK, so, using your current version as the starting point:

1. Select the 3 white paths and unify them (Path -> Union or Ctrl + +)
2. Select the resulting path and the main path of the head
3. Get the difference of the 2 paths (Path -> Difference or Ctrl + -)
4. Select all other paths bar the main one and remove them

And that should do it. Any other issues we can address during the review process.

[mfarragher]

Thanks I've made a PR - I've mentioned this issue in there so it's linked above.
