Use the mark on its own for the favicon and header logo - #2

The logo carries the "protobuf-net" wordmark under the mark, which is unreadable at favicon size and at the 28px the header renders it - and in the header it duplicates the word sitting right next to it anyway. The full logo is also 1.2:1, so forcing it into a 28x28 box squashes it. This adds a mark-only version - the same four paths, cropped to a square viewBox - and points both the favicon and the header image at it. favicon.svg was a byte-identical copy of protobuf-net.svg and is now unreferenced, so it goes; protobuf-net.svg stays as the full logo.

The logo has the "protobuf-net" wordmark set under the mark. At favicon size that text is a grey smudge, and the header renders the same file at 28px where it is no more readable - and there it duplicates the word sitting immediately next to it. The full logo is also 1.2:1, so
width="28" height="28"squashes it.This adds
protobuf-net-mark.svg: the same four coloured paths, cropped to a square viewBox, with the twelve wordmark paths dropped. Both the favicon and the header image now point at it.favicon.svgwas a byte-identical copy ofprotobuf-net.svgand is unreferenced once the favicon moves, so it is removed;protobuf-net.svgstays as the full logo.How I picked the crop, since eyeballing an SVG is not an option: the sixteen paths split cleanly by vertical position - four entirely above y=200 (the mark, carrying the four quadrant colours) and twelve below y=202 (the wordmark), with nothing straddling the gap. The mark's bounding box is 183.9 x 191.8, a ratio of 0.959, which matches the ratio measured independently off the raster logo to three decimals - so the crop is the mark and nothing else. The result is 1066 bytes against the original 11864.
Not built locally -
npm ciplus a Vite build was more than this warranted - butpublic/is copied verbatim intodist/, so the file lands at the site root as/protobuf-net-mark.svg. Worth a glance at the header on the deployed site.
