Description
Overview of the Feature Request
Dataverse should provide guidance over the use of its logos. Namely rules over modifications.
This example could be considered: https://www.edx.org/trademarks
What kind of user is the feature intended for?
(Example users roles: API User, Curator, Depositor, Guest, Superuser, Sysadmin)
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?

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