• I think we might need to update paypal.com, logo looks different than the current one

Yep. Agree on this. I think in order to keep it simple and monochrome we should just have the two shapes as if they were opaque, with a 0.5pt gap between them.

• We need to remove periscope.tv

Yep. Different to Vine in that the apps have been pulled completely from 31 Mar 21.

• We need to remove http://pingup.com

👍

• I think we might need to update brand.plex.tv/d/qxmJ3odkK0fj/style-guide, looks like we need to use the full wordmark

I think there's an argument to be made that because of the limited space in our icons, we should stick to the provided App Icon version. What do other @simple-icons/maintainers think?

• We need to update maps.google.com/pluscodes

👍

• I think we might need to update wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Logo to use the given monochrome version

While the existing treatment we have is easier to read, I think we will have to change it given they've provided an official monochrome treatment.

• I think we might need to update powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us

👍

• I think we might need to update publons.com/about/the-publons-logo

Looks like our current version matches up to the favicon of the site. I don't think we'd be able to do the logo justice converting it to monochrome (see the issues we had with NASA, where their monochrome treatment was all greys)

As with your other review, I'll convert your original post into a list, so we can track who's doing what from the points you raised.

Agreed. Although they don't make it available anywhere they themselves have a monochrome version with a similar treatment which can be seen at https://www.paypal.com/uk/webapps/mpp/how-to-use-paypal-here/card-reader

This all looks good to me, and all outstanding notes are in progress. Merging in so we get the source/guideline/license info out in this release!
