Logo is muddy/ does not scale nicely

(both at 400%)

From @AlOneill : I can see what the the issue with the muddiness is caused by: the CSS is using data png instead of data svg

To confirm, you want to use https://www.freeukgenealogy.org.uk/images/svg/min/freeukgen.svg instead of the encoded PNG?

@arswright The Grunticon stylesheet loader is present in the head, but on both Chrome and Firefox, we are getting the data png styles. So the first question is does the data svg stylesheet exist and is it in the place expected by Grunticon?

I would not suggest putting the data svg image in the data png file: the separate files are there because of varying levels of browser support. There should also be a fallback file that uses ordinary png images: does that exist and is it where Grunticon expects? It should be served if, amongst other things, Javascript is turned off — have not tested that.

I'm not seeing any references to the SVG logo in any files associated with the repo (nor any database dumps).

grep -Rin 'freeukgen.svg' ./
Binary file ./.git/index matches

Haven't had time to get grunt-grunticon running - encountering errors when attempting to install:

(Ultimately a moot point if this task is not prioritized over migration to WordPress CMS)
