Fix DataSquad symbol SVG — S path renders inverted #56

Description

@jt14den

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.
