All users

What inspired the request?

I'm configuring the Repositório Polen Dataverse instalation and we want to have a black footer. The current Dataverse logo does not look good with a black background. As such we wanted to have it changed to white. As we do not own the rights to the image we can't legally do it.

What existing behavior do you want changed?

N/A

Any brand new behavior do you want to add to Dataverse?

N/A

Any related open or closed issues to this feature request?

Not to my knowledge.

Research direction

Start by clarifying the intended contents of the Media Kit, including approved logo variants, usage guidance, and rights for backgrounds such as black footers. Check the existing branding and logo assets referenced by the Dataverse project. Done means the scope, source assets, usage rules, and delivery location are agreed.
