This can be remedied with CSS which applies white background to logos (perhaps with some padding: to also give a bit of a border).

Ah, that makes sense. But wouldn't it make sense to remove the logos from *all* are projects then? Also since the logos are just svgs, I *think* it should be possible to override the color of the "fill" dynmaically via css (?) If so, then I think that's probably a better course of action :) - NRK

If so, then I > think that's probably a better course of action :) sorry, I didn't see the thread was already responded to. It is possible to "externally" influence svgs to "switch" with css. I'll look into it. With best regards Laslo

I personally also like dark mode, but understand it's a matter of taste
(and 1 bit of information added to the online-fingerprint).
However, I managed to tweak it such that it now works with dark mode as
well by adding the following CSS-rule to the dark mode section in the
CSS:
#main img[src$=svg] {
filter: invert(1);
}
All within #main that are svg's are inverted in dark mode.
Granted it makes use of a filter, which is not supported everywhere,
but given prefers-color-scheme is also only supported by modern
browsers, this should not be an issue.
I hope everyone's okay with this.
With best regards
Laslo

The change (visually) looks fine to me and I'm happy to see the logos
back again =)
And while we're on the topic of dark mode; the current theme uses a #000
black for it's background. Which looks great my phone with AMOLED
display, but not so great on my desktop with an LCD panel where
something like #171717 looks much better.
I'm not asking to change it though, since that'll just swap the problem.
Just putting the info out there as feedback.

I think the logos are a simple but characteristic 'trademark'. Maybe just a suckless logo would be sufficient.
