Replaces the emoji placeholder with a purpose-built SVG telescope logo. The objective lens displays the Kubernetes 7-spoke helm wheel as a mirrored reflection.

Changes

  • src/components/Logo.tsx — React SVG component depicting a cartoon-style refractor telescope on a warm-brown 3-leg wooden tripod with cross-brace and rubber feet. The grey-beige barrel has 4 wide orange-brown wooden rings and is angled ~30° upper-right in a 200×200 viewBox. The eyepiece on the left has a 3D end-cap. The large circular objective lens on the right (r=33 housing with wooden ring border, r=28 dark navy radial-gradient face) shows the Kubernetes 7-spoke wheel in white (lensR=25, all dots verified to fit within the clip circle with no distortion). The background is fully transparent. Rendered at size=80.
  • public/logo.svg — static copy of the same SVG for embedding in Markdown
  • src/app/layout.tsx — swaps <span className="header-logo">⎈</span> for <Logo size={80} />
  • src/app/globals.css — removes the now-unused .header-logo rule
  • README.md — adds the logo image below the top-level heading

Redesigned the logo in commit 143b1b6 — it's now a classical refractor on a tripod (tube with 3 rings + focus knob, eyepiece on the left, large objective lens on the right showing the mirrored K8s wheel, angled upper-right on a 3-leg tripod with a cross-brace):

@copilot The angle of the lense is off.

@copilot The angle of the lense is off.

Fixed in commit 6a07da4 — increased the rotation from -15° to -25° to better match the reference image angle.

@copilot This should look a tad bit more 3d

@copilot It should be more 3d so the lense is more an ellipse than a full circle. Also fix the merge conflict.

@copilot It should be more 3d so the lense is more an ellipse than a full circle. Also fix the merge conflict.

Done in commit e4c0232 — the logo is now more 3D:

  • Tube body: linear gradient (light blue top → dark navy bottom) simulating a cylinder
  • Rings & focus knob: same gradient treatment
  • Objective lens: replaced circles with ellipses (rx=9 ry=13 outer rim, rx=7 ry=11 inner face) to give a perspective-compressed look, with the K8s wheel scaled to match
  • Eyepiece end-cap: ellipse to close the left end in 3D

@copilot resolve conflicts, the reflection in the lens should look like the kubernetes logo. It doesn't currently. also perspective is still off.

…nscaled wheel

@copilot resolve conflicts, the reflection in the lens should look like the kubernetes logo. It doesn't currently. also perspective is still off.

Fixed in commit 705e940:

  • Conflicts: no conflict markers were found in the working tree — branch was clean
  • K8s wheel: removed scale(0.7,1) which was deforming circles into ovals; the wheel is now a proper unscaled circle (lensR=9) that fits entirely within the lens clip ellipse (rx=10 ry=12) — hub, spokes, and endpoint dots all render as true circles/lines matching the K8s logo
  • Perspective: switched to a wider viewBox (110×80), reduced tube rotation to -10° (nearly horizontal like the reference), and improved the lens ellipse ratio to rx=12/ry=14 outer and rx=10/ry=12 inner (~0.83 ratio vs the previous 0.64)

@copilot retry from scratch again to draw a telescope which is on a tripod and the lense shows the Kubernetes logo.

Redrawn from scratch in commit df78db6:

  • Telescope body: nearly-horizontal tube (-12°) with 3 barrel rings, a focus knob on top, and a proper 3D eyepiece end-cap on the left
  • Tripod: warm-brown 3-leg tripod (matching the reference style) with a cross-brace and rubber feet, centered below the tube
  • Objective lens: large ellipse (rx=13/ry=16 housing, rx=11/ry=14 face) — prominent on the right end
  • Kubernetes wheel: proper unscaled 7-spoke circle (lensR=10) sitting on a dark lens face; all spoke dots mathematically verified to fit inside the clip ellipse with no distortion
  • Render size: increased to size=64 so the K8s wheel is legible in the header

Done in commit 152e57d — redrawn in cartoon style with a transparent background:

  • Barrel: grey-beige tube with 4 wide orange-brown wooden rings, angled ~30° upper-right
  • Eyepiece: wooden housing on the left with a 3D end-cap
  • Objective lens: large circular housing with a wooden ring border, deep navy radial gradient face, showing the Kubernetes 7-spoke wheel in white (lensR=25, all dots verified to fit inside the clip circle with no clipping)
  • Tripod: warm-brown 3-leg wooden tripod with cross-brace and rubber feet
  • Background: fully transparent
