Problem
The datasquad_symbol.svg in the icon kit has a broken S path. The S shape renders as a reversed/inverted Z rather than a forward S, regardless of coordinate adjustments attempted via code.
Background
The SVG was hand-coded rather than exported from a design tool. Multiple attempts to fix the bezier path coordinates in text have failed because the result cannot be visually verified before deployment.
Reference
The correct S shape is the Carleton DataSquad logo style:
- Horizontal arm exits upper-left of the hex
- Upper arc bulges right
- Lower arc bulges left
- Horizontal arm exits lower-right of the hex
What needs to happen
The SVG needs to be redrawn in a design tool (Figma, Illustrator, etc.) and exported cleanly. The hand-coded path approach is not reliable for this shape.
Blocked on: access to the original design source file or a designer to produce a corrected export.
Affected files
assets/img/datasquad_production_icon_kit/datasquad_symbol.svg
- All PNG variants in the same folder may also be affected if rendered from the same broken source
Workaround
Currently using datasquad_icon_64.png as fallback in the navbar. The S is still wrong in that file too — navbar is showing the broken symbol.
